TB1-16931

The claimant established identity but failed to demonstrate a well‑founded fear of persecution or a balance of probabilities risk of torture because his past detentions were part of a generalized suspicion of young Tamils rather than individual targeting, his inconsistent explanations and re‑availment undermined subjective fear, corroboration was weak, and current country information and risk profiles do not show he would face persecution on return.
