The Court of Appeal of Bari applied Article 5.6 of legislative decree No. 286/1998, concerning international protection, in the case of an immigrant from Burkina Faso, whose application for obtaining the refugee status in Italy had been rejected. The decision was mainly based on the fact that the return of the immigrant to his home country would have put him in a situation of grave vulnerability, where the enjoyment of his fundamental rights would have been at risk.
