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

The Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged a risk of torture in his home country. The applicant argued that specific political persecution made return unsafe, but the domestic authorities found no credible evidence supporting these claims. Consequently, the court ruled that the burden of proof was not met, leading to the rejection of the protection request.
