TB4-02224

The claim was dismissed because the Tribunal found the claimant's evidence unreliable on the balance of probabilities: material omissions in the intake declaration and BOC, inconsistencies regarding political party membership, and lack of corroborative documentary evidence justified adverse inferences that the alleged persecution was fabricated, so the claimant failed to establish he is a Convention refugee or person in need of protection.
