TB1-19711

The claim was rejected because the claimants failed to provide sufficient credible and corroborative evidence that they are bona fide Falun Gong practitioners or that they face a real risk of persecution, torture, or cruel and unusual treatment on return; documentary records undermined the allegation of the husband's death in custody and exit records and country information undermined assertions of state interest.
