TB2-13011

The panel concluded the claimant's testimony lacked credibility and material corroboration on central matters (arrests, beatings, membership evidence, family corroboration and ability to leave Ethiopia); given these adverse findings and the low profile of her activities in Canada, the claimant did not establish she is a Convention refugee or a person in need of protection.
