TB1-17594

The claimant failed to establish on the balance of probabilities essential elements of his claim, including that he is homosexual and that the alleged persecution occurred; he produced inadequate corroborative documentation and gave explanations the panel found unreasonable, rendering his evidence not credible; therefore he did not meet the requirements of IRPA ss.96/97 to be found a Convention refugee or a person in need of protection, and his claim is dismissed.
