Ecuador Restricts Internet Access

Ecuador has restricted internet access for Julian Assange, the creator of WikiLeaks. Assange lives in Ecuador's London embassy which is the cause for Ecuador's concern. WikiLeaks has been releasing important, secret information that could effect the current U.S election and Ecuador does not want to be associated with this. This is a great example of states wanting to respect the rules of sovereignty. Ecuador does not want to interfere with or harbor anyone who may interfere with the political affairs of the U.S for the sake of respecting its right to govern its people how it sees fit.
