Julian Assange nekas asyl i Frankrike

Wikileaks-grundaren Julian Assange är fortfarande rädd för Sverige. Nyligen ansökte om han om att få asyl i Frankrike efter att Wikileaks uppdagat NSA-övervakning av Frankrikes presidenter. Assange skrev direkt till president Hollande::

"I am a journalist who has been persecuted and threatened with death by the US authorities because of my professional activities," Assange wrote. "My life is in danger right now, Mr President and my physical as well as psychological integrity is at more risk with every passing day."

Frankrike avslog dock hans ansökan och på president Hollandes hemsida skrevs:

"Mr Assange's situation does not present any immediate danger. He is also the subject of a European arrest warrant,"
