MA5-02854

The claimant failed to prove a well‑founded fear of persecution or a personal risk to life/cruel and unusual treatment because he did not exhaust available domestic remedies, his PIF omitted key complaints and contained inconsistencies, and his delay in claiming protection on arrival undermined his subjective fear; accordingly he is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
