Italian 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, upholding the lower court's rejection of the claim. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would violate Article 3 of the ECHR due to persecution, but failed to provide sufficient evidence of specific threats. The court ruled that the burden of proof remains on the applicant to demonstrate a well-founded fear of ill-treatment, which was not met in this instance.
