MA7-03508

The panel rejected the claims because the claimants' central allegations were found not credible due to failure to produce commonly available corroborative documents, unresolved doubts about the authenticity of key denunciation documents, and insufficient probative value of medical and testimonial evidence; therefore they did not establish they are Convention refugees under s.96 or persons in need of protection under s.97.
