MA5-05372

The panel found the claimant not credible due to multiple material inconsistencies between testimony and the PIF, speculative answers, implausible facts and non-probative documentary evidence; on that basis the claimant failed to establish a well-founded fear of persecution or a need for protection, and the claim was rejected without further s.97 analysis.
