VB0-02053

The Board rejected the claimant's allegations as not credible due to material inconsistencies, lack of corroboration, implausible factual assertions about reporting and family threats, delay and failure to seek asylum in the U.S., and available country evidence attributing relevant killings to gang activity; for those reasons the claimant failed to prove a well‑founded fear of persecution or a personal risk of torture, and there was insufficient evidence to apply Article 1F(a) exclusion.
