2018-03-29 1 Dailymotion

Ecuador says WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been barred from using the internet at the Ecuadoran Embassy in London for interfering in other countries' affairs. <br /> The Ecuadorian government said he violated an agreement with the embassy, where he has been holed up for nearly six years, to not comment on international issues online. <br /> It added his recent activity on social media put Ecuador's good relations with the UK, EU and other nations at risk. <br />Assange recently expressed strong support for separatist leaders in Spain's Catalonia region and decried the arrest of former Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont.<br />He also was engaged in a heated clash of words with a British minister on Twitter, questioning London's claim that Russia was behind the poisoning of a former Russian spy in Salisbury. <br />Assange sought refuge at the embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden on alleged sex crimes - an investigation that has now been closed. <br />He is still wanted in Britain for jumping bail. <br />
