Italian 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 torture upon return to his home country. The applicant argued that specific conditions in his region made his life unbearable, but the court found no credible evidence supporting these claims. Consequently, the court ruled that the domestic authorities had correctly assessed the lack of a well-founded fear of persecution.
