The applicants, a mother and son from Venezuela, sought judicial review of the Refugee Protection Division's decision denying their claims for Convention refugee status and protection.
The principal applicant claimed persecution based on her political beliefs and refusal to support the ruling PSUV party while employed as a civil servant.
The RPD found the workplace pressure and harassment amounted to discrimination, not persecution, and that she would not face particular risk upon return as a former civil servant.
The Federal Court held the RPD's assessment was reasonable, finding the Member properly conducted a cumulative analysis in substance and did not ignore relevant country condition evidence.
