AI generated

The Italian Supreme Court 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 he failed to provide credible evidence of individualized danger. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant, and his claims were deemed unsubstantiated under Italian asylum law.
