MA6-00945

The claim was dismissed because the panel found serious credibility problems and implausibilities in the claimant's account, insufficient specific evidence of arrest/charges and no established nexus between the alleged mistreatment and a Convention ground; therefore there was no reasonable chance of persecution and the claimant is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection under ss.96-97 IRPA.
