WikiLeaks: Assange's internet 'severed' by state actor

WikiLeaks says that founder Julian Assange's internet access has been cut by an unidentified state actor.
The whistle-blowing organisation said on Twitter on Monday that they have activated their "contingency plans" after its co-founder's internet service was intentionally cut off.
The internet is one of the few available means through which Assange can maintain contact with the outside world.
He has been up holed up at the Ecuadorean embassy in London for more than four years after skipping bail to avoid being extradited over sex crimes allegations.
The cramped quarters haven't prevented the Australian transparency activist from working and WikiLeaks continues to deliver scoops, including revelations that have rattled Hillary Clinton's campaign for president as the US election enters its final stretch.
