Ecuador Admits That It Has Restricted Internet Access For Julian Assange To Prevent Wikileaks From Intefering In The U.S. Election

Reuters: Ecuador acknowledges limiting Julian Assange's web access

WikiLeaks said Assange lost connectivity on Sunday, sparking speculation Ecuador might have been pressured by the United States due to the group's publication of hacked material linked to U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
