WikiLeaks on Wednesday accused the Ecuadorian government of spying on Julian Assange as tensions mounted between the WikiLeaks founder and his hosts. Assange sought refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in 2012 and has been living there ever since. Relations between Assange and his Ecuadorian hosts have turned sour in recent weeks with a series of accusations from both sides. Ecuador's vice president, Otto Sonnenholzner, says Assange will have to "abide by the consequences" if he is found to have violated an embassy protocol put in place in October. Speaking to the Sonorama radio station, he said, "The only thing Ecuador demands is fulfillment of the protocol, a protocol that limits certain privileges."
