TB0-08225

Claimant failed to rebut the presumption of state protection because documentary and testimonial evidence showed the Russian authorities took steps to investigate and prosecute anti‑Semitic acts, the claimant did not exhaust available remedies, and there was not clear and convincing evidence that adequate protection would not be forthcoming; therefore the claim is rejected under s.96 and ss.97(1) IRPA.
