REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
(Delivered from the Bench at
Toronto, Ontario on May 19, 1999)
McGILLIS J.
[1] The male applicant attended the hearing and made submissions on his own behalf and on behalf of the female applicant.
[2] I have carefully considered all of the documentation in the record, as well as the submissions made at the hearing. In my opinion, the decision of the Immigration and Refugee Board that the applicants failed to establish the existence of a well-founded fear of persecution based on a ground in the Convention was not patently unreasonable. In particular, there was ample evidence in the record to support the conclusion that there was no link between the alleged persecutory activities and the definition of a Convention refugee. Although I am sympathetic to the plight of the applicants, my intervention in this matter is not warranted.
[3] The application for judicial review is dismissed. The case raises no serious question of general importance.
