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, but the court found no credible evidence supporting his fear of refoulement. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the applicant failed to meet the evidentiary burden required to establish a well-founded fear of persecution.
