VA5-01471

The claim was rejected because the claimant's testimony contained inconsistencies and evasiveness undermining credibility; the factual matrix did not establish trafficking or a real risk of persecution on return; evidence indicated freedom of movement and absence of coercive control; and an internal flight alternative exists, therefore she is not a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection under IRPA.
