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

The Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by an applicant who could not substantiate a well-founded fear of persecution. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to severe human rights violations, but the domestic authorities found no credible evidence supporting these claims. Consequently, the court ruled that the burden of proof remained unmet, leading to the rejection of the protection request.
