MA4-00321

The claimant was found not credible due to evasive and inconsistent testimony, lack of corroborating evidence for the alleged 2001 incidents and targeted threats, and behaviour (sojourning in the USA and delaying the claim) inconsistent with a genuine fear; therefore he failed to establish a well-founded fear of persecution and is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
