The panel rejected the claimant's core allegations on credibility grounds: material inconsistencies (travel to the U.S. embassy while allegedly hiding, departure on own passport despite being wanted), documentary country evidence showing effective exit controls, and an arrest summons containing a manifest legal error indicating probable fraud; consequently the claimant failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that she is a Convention refugee or person in need of protection and there is no credible basis under s.107(2) IRPA.
