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

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that returning them would violate non-refoulement principles due to political persecution, but failed to provide credible evidence of specific threats. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant to demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution, which was not met.
