According to WikiLeaks Assange has sent an open letter to the French President Francois Hollande asking for a political asylum, rt.com reports.
“For the simple fact of publishing information meriting public interest that whistleblowers had passed to WikiLeaks, I am personally prosecuted for espionage, conspiracy, theft or compromise of confidential US government information and computer violations, risking life imprisonment or worse," he said.
However, the request was rejected by Paris hours after the letter’s publication.
