MA7-00442

Tribunal found key elements of the claimant's account not credible — notably the alleged 2006 return to Pakistan and the persecution narrative — due to material inconsistencies, implausibilities regarding the satellite dish story, contradictions in passport and ID issuance, expert opinion casting doubt on the entry stamp and documented prevalence of fraudulent Pakistani documents; therefore claimant failed to establish a reasonable fear of persecution and the claim is rejected under ss.96 and 97 IRPA.
