Italian Supreme Court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk in Italy.

The Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by an applicant who could not substantiate a risk of refoulement in Italy. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to persecution, but failed to provide credible evidence or specific facts supporting this claim. Consequently, the court ruled that the burden of proof remained unmet, leading to the rejection of the protection request.
