Because the claimant failed to establish her identity and failed to provide credible, corroborative evidence of the alleged 2001 raid or targeted mistreatment, and evidence showed risk in Angola is limited to high‑profile media figures whereas the claimant was a low‑profile administrative employee, the panel concluded there is insufficient credible and trustworthy evidence that she would face persecution for political opinion or meet the threshold for protection under s.97(1)(a) or s.97(1)(b); claim is rejected.
