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 specific political persecution made return unsafe, but the lower court found no credible evidence supporting these claims. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the rejection, ruling that the burden of proof regarding non-refoulement risks remained unmet.
