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 state contended the risk was not sufficiently substantiated by evidence. The court ruled that without concrete proof of specific threats, the claim cannot proceed to a full merits review.
