High Court upholds the International Protection Appeal Tribunal's decision to deny an applicant's request for refugee status and subsidiary protection, affirming the Tribunal's findings that questioned the credibility of the applicant's account of persecution and his assertion of being gay, the court finding that the Tribunal's assessment was deemed fair, with the applicant given ample opportunity to substantiate his claims, which he failed to do convincingly; and the Tribunal's decision was based on inconsistencies in the applicant's narrative, lack of corroborative evidence, and a perceived disconnect between the applicant's behavior and the known situation of LGBTQ individuals in Ghana.
