Legislator summary

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum application, ruling that the lower court erred in assessing the risk of persecution. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would violate Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights due to specific threats, but failed to provide sufficient evidence. Consequently, the court upheld the rejection, emphasizing the high burden of proof required for non-refoulement claims.
