Italian court dismisses asylum claim where applicant fails to prove non-refoulement risk under EU law.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that returning to their nation would expose them to life-threatening conditions, while the state 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 substantiate their claims with credible documentation.
