Assange cut off from web by host country, Ecuador, over posts deemed risky to nation's relations | Fox News
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been cut off from the web after Ecuador’s government said his recent social media posts put relations with Europe "at risk."
Assange has been living at Ecuador’s London embassy since 2012 when the country first granted him asylum. He has not been allowed to leave the grounds over threats from the British government that he would be arrested for escaping bail and possible extradition to the U.S. over leaked State Department documents.
================================================
I believe there is much more to Wikileaks than just Assange but cutting him off from the internet will make continued living in that embassy very difficult for him.
