TC1-04644

The appeals are dismissed because, on an independent review, the appellants failed to rebut the RPD's finding that a viable Internal Flight Alternative existed in Cairo or Alexandria: there is insufficient objective evidence that the agents of persecution could locate them there or that relocation would be unreasonable in all the circumstances; allegations of bias were unsupported and most new evidence was either not new, not credible or not relevant.
