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 state contended the claim lacked credible evidence of individualized danger. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant, whose testimony was deemed insufficient to establish a well-founded fear of persecution.
