Julian Assange cut off from internet access

Ecuador has cut off WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s internet access within the South American country’s London embassy, WikiLeaks said in a statement on its website Monday.

Ecuador’s Foreign Ministry declined to comment on Assange’s internet access.

Assange has lived and worked at Ecuador’s Embassy since 2012 under a grant of diplomatic asylum as he faces extradition to Sweden where he is wanted for questioning about an alleged sexual offense.
