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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged a risk of torture upon return to his home country. The applicant argued that local authorities would not protect him due to his political activities, but the court found no credible evidence supporting these claims. Consequently, the court ruled that the burden of proof remained unmet, leading to the rejection of the protection request.
