The claimant's account was found implausible and not credible, supporting documentation was unreliable, country conditions did not demonstrate a real risk to the claimant, and a reasonable internal flight alternative existed; therefore the claimant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that he is a Convention refugee or a person in need of protection.
