Ecuador has cut Julian Assange’s internet connection at its embassy in London, in an attempt to prevent the WikiLeaks founder from interfering in other countries' affairs.

The move comes after Mr Assange took to twitter to question accusations that Moscow was responsible for the poisoning of a Russian ex-spy and his daughter in the UK on March 4.

Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno said they will maintain Mr Assange's asylum although this is not the first time they have suspended his internet for hacking or publicly expressing his opinion.
