Last May, Ecuador decided to withdraw the additional security of its embassy in London after the British newspaper The Guardian published that the Ecuadorian government had allocated 4.2 million euros in an “espionage operation” to “protect” the well-known Australian computer scientist, of course, Julian Assange. In addition, Ecuador cut the Australian computer scientist, of course, Julian Assange’s access to the Internet at the end of March after repeatedly asking him to avoid commenting on policy issues from third countries, a condition that persists today. “Ecuador continues to seek an exit to the situation of Mr. Assange, who is an internationally protected person. The interest of our country is to guarantee their well-being and the fulfillment of their human rights,” assured the Ecuadorian Chancellor, Maria Fernanda Espinosa, in May. Regarding the abandonment of his position at the head of WikiLeaks, Hrafnsson told that “remains to be seen” if his removal as the director is temporary or permanent.
