TB4-06759

The panel rejected the claim because it found the principal claimant not credible on core allegations (party membership, conduct during the demonstration, family‑link risk) and found delays and unreliable documents inconsistent with a genuine fear; therefore the claimant failed to establish on a balance of probabilities that she and her child are Convention refugees or persons in need of protection under IRPA ss.96 and 97.
