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

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who claimed persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that returning would expose them to life-threatening conditions, but the court found no credible evidence supporting this assertion. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the applicant failed to meet the burden of proof required to establish a well-founded fear of persecution.
