Italian Supreme Court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk under Art. 3 ECHR.

The Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged a risk of torture in his home country. The applicant argued that his specific profile warranted international protection, but the lower court found no credible evidence of persecution. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the rejection, emphasizing the high burden of proof required to establish a well-founded fear of return.
