U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 05-3926
Agency
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Wmith and Heaney, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - immigration. Citizen of Kenya petitions for
review decision denying asylum for fear of persecution based on her
activities in human rights organizations. Immigration judge's finding that
petitioner was not credible and that ascendance of party to position of
power in ruling coalition suggested she would no longer have a well-
founded fear of future persecution was supported by substantial evidence.
Corroborating testimony bore hallmarks of fraud, contained identifiable
irregularities, and lacked supporting documentation. Petition for review
is denied. Dissent by Judge Heaney.
