Assange is currently living in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, avoiding a Swedish rape charge. Leaving the embassy to address the charges, he says, would result in his extradition to the United States.

WikiLeaks on Monday morning tweeted that Assange’s internet connection had been “intentionally severed by a state party.”

“We can confirm Ecuador cut off Assange's internet access Saturday, 5pm GMT, shortly after publication of Clinton's Goldman Sachs speechs [sic],” the account tweeted Monday afternoon.

The embassy declined to comment on Monday.
