Italian Court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk under Art. 3 ECHR.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged persecution in his home country. The applicant argued that returning to his nation would expose him to severe human rights violations, while the state contended he lacked credible evidence of specific threats. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant, whose claims were deemed unsubstantiated by the available documentation.
