Italian court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk under EU law.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application, ruling that the applicant failed to substantiate a credible fear of persecution. The applicant argued for protection based on political activity, but the court found no evidence of state-sponsored violence or specific threats. Consequently, the claim was rejected as it did not meet the threshold for international protection under applicable EU directives.
