AA5-00414

The claim is rejected because the decision-maker found the claimant not credible on core facts (party membership and participation in the demonstration), identified fabricated or unsupported documentary evidence, and concluded there is no objective or personal risk of persecution or need for protection; failure to seek protection in the United States further undermined the claim.
