Ecuador admits it cut off Julian Assange’s internet after Clinton leaks

Earlier this week, Wikileaks claimed its editor-in-chief Julian Assange’s internet access was blocked by a ‘state party’ at the Embassy of Ecuador in London, where the asylum-seeker is currently holed up.
The government of Ecuador has now owned up doing so.
Ecuador said it did so following Wikileaks’ publishing of several collections of Hillary Clinton’s confidential email correspondence, which may have an impact on the US presidential elections.
Ecuador said it “respects the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other states.”
