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

The Italian Supreme Court dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged a risk of torture upon return to his home country. The applicant argued that specific political persecution targeted him, while the opposing party contended the evidence was insufficient to establish a well-founded fear. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant, who failed to provide credible documentation supporting his claim of non-refoulement.
