MA7-06096

Because the claimant failed to show a nexus between the harm feared and a Convention ground and failed to credibly establish that unidentified criminals currently pose a real risk (omissions undermined the telephone‑threat evidence and no action was taken over six months), the claim fails and the claimant is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
