TB7-19520

The Tribunal dismissed both claims: the Principal Claimant's evidence contained significant, central credibility inconsistencies and unreliable corroboration such that she failed to prove past or anticipated persecution; the Associate Claimant failed to show a durable forward‑facing risk given objective country information (UNHCR and NDP) showing improved conditions for Tamils and the absence of persuasive personal evidence linking him to ongoing state interest; accordingly neither is a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.

Legal Issues

Ratio Decidendi
