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.
