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

The Italian Supreme Court dismissed the asylum applicant's request for protection against expulsion to a third country. The applicant argued that returning them would violate Article 3 of the ECHR due to severe risks, but failed to provide sufficient evidence of specific threats. Consequently, the court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant to demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution.
