MB4-00202

The claimant's testimony was not credible on central elements, documentary evidence failed to corroborate his alleged role and specific threats, the Taliban letter was generic and did not indicate he would be unsafe in Kabul, and business competitors did not pose risks amounting to persecution or to torture/risks to life; therefore he failed to meet the standards for refuge or related protection and the claim was rejected.
