The panel rejected the claim because it found the claimant was not a credible PPP office holder or activist, his oral evidence was superficial and largely recited his PIF, and documentary evidence supporting his allegations was not credible or genuine; absent credible evidence, the claimant did not establish a well-founded fear of persecution or need for protection.
