TA4-06751

Because the claimant's testimony contained significant inconsistencies, implausibilities and lacked corroboration, the panel found him not credible and concluded he failed to establish on a balance of probabilities a well-founded fear of persecution, a real risk to life or cruel and unusual treatment, or that torture was more likely than not on return; therefore the claim was rejected.

Procedural Posture

Convention Refugee Claim / Refugee Protection Division Hearing and Decision

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether claimant has a well-founded fear of persecution based on religion, political opinion or membership of a particular social group (Falun Gong)
  2. 2 Whether claimant faces a real risk to life or risk of cruel and unusual treatment on return
  3. 3 Whether substantial grounds exist to believe claimant would more likely than not be subjected to torture (Convention Against Torture)

Ratio Decidendi

Because the claimant's testimony contained significant inconsistencies, implausibilities and lacked corroboration, the panel found him not credible and concluded he failed to establish on a balance of probabilities a well-founded fear of persecution, a real risk to life or cruel and unusual treatment, or that torture was more likely than not on return; therefore the claim was rejected.

Court Disposition

Claim rejected; claimant determined to be neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.

Orders
