VA8-03588

The claimant's testimony and supporting documents were found not wholly credible and lacked objective, trustworthy evidence of a serious possibility of persecution; given the change of circumstances with the claimant's political party in power, adequate state protection is available, therefore the claimant is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
