Judicial review of RAD decision dismissed; credibility findings based on inconsistencies and behavior were reasonable.
The applicant sought judicial review of a Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) decision confirming the Refugee Protection Division's (RPD) refusal to grant her refugee status.
Both tribunals concluded her account lacked credibility due to omissions in her testimony regarding a ransom demand, inconsistencies in her description of captivity conditions, and behavior inconsistent with a genuine fear (returning home after escaping).
The Federal Court found the RAD's credibility findings reasonable and dismissed the application for judicial review.
