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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged a risk of torture upon return to his home country. The applicant argued that specific political persecution targeted him, while the state contended the evidence lacked credibility and did not meet the threshold for protection. The court ruled that the domestic authorities had correctly assessed the risk and that the applicant failed to substantiate his claim of non-refoulement.
