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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal against the rejection of their protection status. The applicant argued they faced persecution in their home country, but the lower court found no credible evidence of a well-founded fear of return. The Supreme Court upheld this decision, ruling that the burden of proof remained on the applicant to demonstrate a genuine risk of violation of fundamental rights.
