MA6-01959

The claim was rejected because the panel found the claimant's testimony fabricated and not credible on grounds of implausibility, internal inconsistency, an implausible threatening note and lack of corroboration, and therefore the claimant failed to establish a well‑founded fear of persecution or a need for protection.
