Wikileaks: It Was Ecuador That Cut Assange’s Internet

The Hill reports:



The anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks on Monday afternoon said that the Ecuadorian government has cut off founder Julian Assange’s internet connection. Assange is currently living in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, avoiding a Swedish rape charge. Leaving the embassy to address the charges, he says, would result in his extradition to the United States.

WikiLeaks on Monday morning tweeted that Assange’s internet connection had been “intentionally severed by a state party.” The embassy declined to comment on Monday. WikiLeaks has been publishing thousands of documents stolen from the personal email account of Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta.
