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

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum applicant's request for protection, ruling that the domestic authorities correctly assessed the lack of a real risk of persecution. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to severe human rights violations, but the court found no credible evidence supporting this claim. Consequently, the application was rejected because the applicant did not meet the substantive requirements for international protection under Italian and EU law.
