TB4-10480

The panel rejected the claims because the claimants' core allegations were not credible on balance of probabilities, were undermined by inconsistencies and omissions, lacked reasonably available corroboration, and were inconsistent with country evidence and the claimants' failure to seek asylum in the US; therefore they do not face a serious possibility of persecution or a risk to life or of torture.
