TA4-16068

The panel found the claimant's evidence generally not credible, noted absence of expected corroborative documents and delay in seeking protection, and concluded that the incidents alleged did not amount to persecution and that state protection in Romania is available; therefore the claim fails and the claimant is not a Convention refugee or person in need of protection.
