Ecuadorean Embassy Cuts Off Julian Assange's Internet Access
------------------------------------------------------------

The Ecuadorean government has cut off Julian Assange's internet access
in the Ecuadorean Embassy of London, accusing Assange of breaking an
agreement not to issue statements that might interfere in the politics
of other countries. The suspension of his internet came after Assange
challenged Britain's accusation that Russia was responsible for the
poisoning of a Russian spy and his daughter earlier this month. In a
statement, the Ecuadorean Embassy said Assange's social media statements
"put at risk the good relations Ecuador maintains with the United
Kingdom, with the other states of the European Union, and with other
nations."
