VA8-02150

Claimant's core account was found not credible due to material inconsistencies and lack of corroboration; country evidence showed Fujian province tolerates unregistered Protestant house churches and did not support a serious possibility of persecution or risk of torture on return; therefore claimant is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
