Italian Supreme Court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk.

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum application filed by an applicant who could not substantiate a risk of persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that returning would expose them to severe human rights violations, but the court found the evidence insufficient to meet the high burden of proof required for non-refoulement. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the applicant failed to demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution or torture.
