TB1-18300

The claimant's account was found not credible on multiple grounds (implausible motive to join a banned group, ability to leave China on a genuine passport despite alleged pursuit, absence of harm to family, and reliance on self‑serving documents); therefore he failed to prove membership of Falun Gong or a serious possibility of persecution and is not a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
