Anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks said on Monday that its founder Julian Assange's internet was shut down by the government of Ecuador, deflecting blame from the U.S. or British governments which have sparred with Assange for releasing sensitive material.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange may at last leave the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has been holed up for three and a half years.

The UK government may have stopped its 24/7 surveillance of the Ecuadorian embassy where Julian Assange is seeking refuge, but it is still determined to arrest him the moment he sets foot outside.
