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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the interlocutory order regarding the asylum applicant's claim of persecution in their home country. The applicant argued they faced a well-founded fear of torture, while the opposing party contended the evidence was insufficient to meet the high threshold of non-refoulement. The court ruled that without concrete proof of specific threats or state complicity, the claim cannot proceed to a full merits hearing.
