Italian Court dismisses asylum appeal where applicant failed to prove credible fear of persecution in Italy.

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal against the rejection of their protection request. The applicant argued they faced persecution in their home country, but the lower court found no credible fear of harm within Italy itself. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the rejection, ruling that the applicant must demonstrate a specific risk of persecution in the country of origin to qualify for asylum.
