TB1-13908

The Panel found the claimant not credible based on multiple inconsistencies, unexplained delays, omissions in the PIF, and documents determined to be not genuine; given lack of credible evidence and accepted country‑condition evidence that mere Kurdish ethnicity or Alevi religion does not necessarily amount to persecution, the Panel concluded there was no well‑founded fear under s.96 and no risk under s.97 IRPA and rejected the claim.
