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 an applicant who could not substantiate a well-founded fear of persecution. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would violate their fundamental rights, but the domestic authorities found no credible evidence of specific threats. Consequently, the court ruled that the burden of proof remained unmet, leading to the rejection of the claim.
