		</div><p>WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has failed in a bid to win asylum in France.</p>
<p>In a letter to French President Francois Hollande published in Le Monde on Friday, Mr Assange appealed to France’s history as a beacon for the repressed. He noted that WikiLeaks recently revealed that the US National Security Agency spied on Mr Hollande and his two predecessors.</p>
<p>Mr Hollande quickly said “no” to the request. In a statement, his office noted that Mr Assange is under a European arrest warrant and his life is not in imminent danger.</p>
<p>The exchange came after prominent French voices, including ex-footballer Eric Cantona and economist Thomas Piketty, appealed for France to grant Mr Assange haven.</p>
<p>He has taken refuge in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London to avoid extradition to Sweden for questioning about alleged sex assaults.</p>
