VA9-02925

The claimant's testimony and supporting witness evidence were materially inconsistent, uncorroborated and not credible, and objective country reports did not support a probable risk to the claimant; accordingly he failed to establish a well‑founded fear of persecution or a s.97 risk and his claim is rejected.
