Italian court dismisses asylum appeal where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk under EU law.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal, upholding the lower court's rejection of the claim. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to persecution, but failed to provide sufficient evidence of specific threats. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant to demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution, which was not met in this instance.
