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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged a risk of persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that returning them would violate Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights due to specific threats, but failed to provide credible evidence. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant, whose claims were deemed unsubstantiated and insufficient to establish a well-founded fear of persecution.
