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

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged persecution in his home country. The applicant argued that returning to his nation would expose him to severe human rights violations, while the state contended the evidence did not meet the threshold for non-refoulement. The court ruled that the applicant failed to substantiate his fear of persecution with credible, specific evidence required by law.
