There\u2019s Only One Word to Describe Julian Assange\u2019s Internet Being Cut Off \u2013 Pathetic<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

Let\u2019s get right to it. Earlier today, Julian Assange had his internet access severed.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a translation<\/a> of the statement from the government of Ecuador, in whose embassy he\u2019s been trapped since 2012:<\/p>\n

The Government of Ecuador suspended the systems that allow Julian Assange to communicate with the outside world from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where the citizen remains in an international protection situation for six years due to the risk to his life and integrity.<\/em><\/p>\n

The measure was adopted in the face of Assange\u2019s failure to comply with the written commitment it assumed with the Government at the end of 2017, for which it was obliged not to issue messages that implied interference with other States.<\/em><\/p>\n

Therefore, to prevent potential damage, the embassy in London interrupted this March 27 communications abroad to which Assange has access.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Executive also keeps open the way to the adoption of new measures in the face of breach of commitment by Assange.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The answer is Catalonia.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been following Assange\u2019s tweets closely following the revelation that German police seized Catalonia\u2019s elected President Carles Puigdemont on behalf of Spain. Assange provided some much needed context and commentary about the disturbing incident over Twitter in recent days. Here are a few examples that likely ruffled the feathers of various EU governments.<\/p>\n
