TA3-10739

The claim was rejected because the tribunal found the claimant not credible on a balance of probabilities due to cumulative inconsistencies, lack of corroboration, implausible timing of the alleged PSB raid, and other implausibilities; accordingly the claimant is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
