Double standards from Ecuador

The Guardian reports:

Ecuador has confirmed that it cut off internet access to Julian Assange, the founder of the whistleblowing site WikiLeaks, stating it believed he was using it to interfere in the US presidential election.

The move followed a raft of leaked emails published byWikiLeaks, including some from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) released just before the party’s convention in July, and more recently a cache of emails from the account of Hillary Clinton campaign adviser John Podesta.

On Tuesday, officials released a statement saying that the government of Ecuador “respects the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other states” and had cut off the internet access available to Assange because “in recent weeks, WikiLeaks has published a wealth of documents, impacting on the US election campaign”.

What a load of crap.

Assange tried to intervene in the internal affairs of New Zealand by taking part in Kim Dotcom’s “Moment of Truth”. Did Ecuador do anything then? No.
