Italian court dismisses asylum claim where applicant fails to prove well-founded fear of persecution.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by a foreign national who could not substantiate a well-founded fear of persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that specific political activities targeted them, but the court found no credible evidence linking these actions to a genuine threat of violence or discrimination. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the burden of proof regarding the risk of return was not met.
