Country of applicant: Gambia
Keywords: Persecution Grounds/Reasons, Personal circumstances of applicant, Well-founded fear, Family unity (right to)

When examining the acceptance of an asylum claim, the authorities have to study whether the testimony of the applicant is based on presumably true facts. Only if it is manifestly false could the admission of this application be denied.

The principle of family unity has to be taken into account regarding the assessment of the circumstances of the applicant, especially since his sister’s application for international protection was accepted.
