The applicants sought judicial review of a Refugee Protection Division decision denying their claims for refugee protection.
The RPD found they lacked credibility due to their failure to claim asylum in the United States and found they had an internal flight alternative in Chittagong.
The Federal Court granted the application, finding the RPD unreasonably failed to assess all grounds of risk alleged, impermissibly based credibility solely on the failure to claim asylum elsewhere without considering the applicants' explanations, and conducted an incomplete and unreasonable IFA analysis that ignored evidence of the state government being the agent of persecution.
