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

The 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 risk was not sufficiently substantiated. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant, who failed to provide credible evidence of a specific threat.
