TB4-05550

The claimant's core allegations were found not credible due to material inconsistencies and omissions across accounts of three alleged targeting incidents; corroborating documents were insufficient to overcome these credibility concerns and no nexus to a Convention ground or sufficient evidence of risk was established, therefore the claimant fails to meet the burden under sections 96 and 97(1) of the IRPA.
