TB9-05495

Appeal dismissed because appellants failed to establish an objective basis for a well‑founded fear of persecution: core allegations of state surveillance and complaints were inconsistent and not credible, corroborative evidence was absent and not adequately compelling, and country‑condition evidence did not demonstrate that Ahmadis in Bahrain face targeting or that appellants face a serious possibility of denaturalization or deportation.
