MB2-06656

Claim dismissed because the panel found the claimant not credible due to inconsistent and improvised testimony, implausible conduct (voluntary returns and delay in claiming), and documentary evidence lacked required translations and therefore had no probative value, so the claimant failed to prove a well‑founded fear of persecution or risk to life under IRPA ss.96/97.
