Burma/Myanmar

This claim was heard today before the RPD. The claimant was a political activist. Country condition evidence was largely corroborative. The following issues were identified: credibility, political affiliation and failure to claim elsewhere. The claim was accepted by way of an oral decision at the conclusion of the hearing. The claimant was found to be credible and responses were found to be authentic. To some degree this was a sur place claim. Significant evidence was before the board as to the disappearance of a family member and membership and political activities.
