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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal against the rejection of their protection status. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would violate Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights due to severe persecution, but provided no credible evidence of specific threats. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant, whose vague claims lacked the necessary specificity to establish a well-founded fear of persecution.
