Yes, it's fine. Obviously you want to make sure you have a strong case and evidence to support your claim.

Ok. what he can use as evidence on this case. Thank you
That will depend on the basis of the refugee claim and the claim details. You will want to provide evidence to show that you are personally being persecuted and/or that your life is in danger.

Examples could include police or court records naming you, hospital records, newspaper articles mentioning you. There are many other things that can be provided as evidence. Again, depends on the nature of your claim.
