The government of Ecuador has announced that it is cutting off WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's internet access at the country's embassy in London, AP reports.
Government officials are said to have said they were taking the measure in response to Assange's recent social media activity criticizing the arrest of the Catalan separatist leader.
AP states that Assange, according to the agreement he reached with the Ecuadorian government, is not allowed to send any messages that could represent interference in the relations of this South American country with other countries.
Assange has been living in the Ecuadorian embassy in the British capital for more than five years, after the Ecuadorian authorities granted him asylum to avoid extradition to Sweden on sexual charges and the possibility of being extradited to the US, which is wanted for information published by WikiLeaks.
