Between
And
Respondent
"As the appellant did not give evidence before me, the principal means of assessing his evidence is by the level of consistency with the objective evidence. The appellant lives in Diyarbakir in south-east Turkey, which is a stronghold of the PKK, where the population are mainly Kurdish. There is ample evidence to support the pattern of harassment of the Kurdish described by the appellant".
