厄瓜多尔承认限制阿桑奇上网

发布时间：2016-10-21 编辑：查字典英语网小编

Ecuador's government admitted Tuesday that it had “temporarily restricted” WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's internet access at its London embassy after the site published documents from Hillary Clinton's U.S. presidential campaign.

A foreign ministry statement said that while it stands by its decision in 2012 to grant Assange asylum, it does not interfere in foreign elections. Leftist President Rafael Correa's government said it was acting on its own and not ceding to foreign pressures.

WikiLeaks, in tweets Tuesday morning, alleged that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry had asked Ecuador to stop Assange from publishing documents about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

State Department spokesperson John Kirby categorically denied the assertion. “While our concerns about WikiLeaks are longstanding, any suggestion that Secretary Kerry or the State Department were involved in shutting down WikiLeaks is false,” Kirby said. “Reports that Secretary Kerry had conversations with Ecuadorian officials about this are simply untrue. Period.”

厄瓜多尔政府星期二承认，曾“临时限制” 维基揭秘创始人阿桑奇上网。阿桑奇目前住在厄瓜多尔驻伦敦大使馆。被限制上网前维基揭秘发表了希拉里∙克林顿竞选的相关文件。

厄瓜多尔外交部的声明说，虽然厄瓜多尔信守2012年给予阿桑奇避难的决定，但是厄瓜多尔并不干涉外国选举。左派总统科雷亚领导的政府表示，有关行动是自行采取的，并非迫于外国压力。

维基揭秘星期二上午在推文中，指控美国国务卿克里曾请求厄瓜多尔制止阿桑奇发表有关民主党总统候选人希拉里·克林顿的文件。

美国国务院发言人科比全然否认上诉说法。科比说：“我们对维基揭秘的忧虑是一贯的，但是任何有关国务卿克里或者国务院参与关闭维基揭秘的暗示都是错误的。有关克里国务卿曾就此同厄瓜多尔官员进行过交谈的报道完全不真实，情况就是这样。”
