MB2-01304

The claim was rejected because the panel concluded the claimants failed to prove on a balance of probabilities a serious possibility of persecution or personal risk on return; significant credibility and plausibility defects—chiefly the son's unexplained return, the implausible timing of alleged extortion, and available alternative travel options—undermined the claim and negated any established risk.
