Julian Assange, 47, has been living in Ecuador’s London embassy since June 2012. He was granted asylum by Ecuador after a British court ordered his extradition to Sweden to face questioning sexual assault and rape allegations. Ecuadorian government took this decision in order to save its good relation with Spain after Assange tweeted in support of Catalan independence movement and blasted the Spanish government over alleged human rights violations. The WikiLeaks founder has not been online since last three months after Ecuador cut his communications with the outside world from its London embassy.
