TB0-12237

The claimant's evidence contained significant, unexplained inconsistencies on central elements of his claim, corroborative documents did not establish political persecution, and his account contained implausibilities (including lawful departure on his own passport); therefore the panel found no credible evidence that he is a Convention refugee or a person in need of protection and dismissed the claim.
