The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the applicant's request for continued residence due to persecution.

Consequently, the statutory requirements for granting a continuation of residence permit were not met.

OK 25 a luku 11 §; RL 25 luku 7 a §: An asylum seeker must substantiate claims of persecution with credible evidence linking the threat to a protected ground and specific persecutors; mere general fear without concrete proof of state involvement or targeted harassment does not satisfy the statutory criteria for continued residence.
