Interfering in Foreign Affairs: Assange's Internet access halted at Ecuadorean Embassy in London
[]
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's communications to the outside world have been cut once again at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London.
Ecuador said the move aims to prevent Assange from interfering in other countries' affairs. On Monday, he used Twitter to challenge if Moscow was truly responsible for the poisoning of an ex-Russian spy on UK soil. Assange also questioned Britain and 20 other nations' move to collectively expel Russian diplomats. The WikiLeaks founder has been holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy since 2012 granted political asylum under the condition that he not interfere in other nations' affairs. In 2016, Ecuador briefly suspended his Internet connection for posting documents that were seen as having an impact on the US election.
