Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is BACK ONLINE after 7-month communications BAN

• Blacklisted News

Only members of his legal team have been allowed to visit during this period.

However, Wikileaks yesterday announced that his "isolation regime" was over after talks between UN officials and Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno on Friday.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi and UN Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression David Kaye met with President Moreno and agreed to partially alleviate the ban on communications.

Editor-in-chief of Wikileaks Kristin Hrafnsson said: "It is positive that, through UN intervention, Ecuador has partly ended the isolation of Mr Assange although it is of grave concern that his freedom to express his opinions is still limited.

"The UN has already declared Mr Assange a victim of arbitrary detention.
