The panel rejected the claims because the claimants' evidence was manifestly not credible — characterized by evasion, contradictions, implausibilities and the deliberate destruction of passports — and therefore there was insufficient credible evidence to conclude they were Convention refugees or persons in need of protection under IRPA ss.96 and 97(1).
