Ecuador Cuts Off Julian Assange’s Internet … Again

Paul Bois

The Ecuadorian Embassy has grounded WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange from using the internet for a while to reportedly prevent him from interfering in other countries’ affairs.

The WikiLeaks founder has been living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London since 2012 to avoid being extradited to Sweden over alleged sex crimes; he has vehemently denied the charges, calling them a conspiracy against him. Though the Swedish authorities have dropped the investigation against Assange, he will not be given political asylum for fear that he would be extradited to the United States for questioning over WikiLeaks activities.
