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

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application, ruling that the applicant failed to substantiate a credible fear of persecution. The applicant argued for protection based on political opinion, but the court found no evidence of specific threats or systemic discrimination in the home country. Consequently, the claim was rejected as it did not meet the threshold for international protection under applicable EU directives.
