MA6-05509

The panel rejected the claim because it found the claimant not credible—his testimony was vague, inconsistent, and uncorroborated, he failed to produce key summonses and explanations, and therefore did not discharge the burden to prove a well-founded fear of persecution under ss.96-97 IRPA.
