TB0-14735

The Panel found the claimant not credible overall due to material inconsistencies, unexplained embellishments, lack of documentary corroboration and implausibility of stated intentions to return after alleged torture; on that basis the Panel concluded the claimant has not established a well‑founded fear of persecution under s.96 nor a risk to life, cruel and unusual treatment or torture under s.97 IRPA, and therefore the claim is rejected.
