TA3-01138

Claim dismissed because claimant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities his asserted political identity and risk: key documents were inconsistent or unreliable, testimonial evidence lacked detail and contained contradictions, corroboration was absent and claimant's conduct (delay and failure to pursue immigration application) undermined credibility, therefore no well-founded fear of persecution under s.97(1) IRPA.
