Lenín Moreno, the president of Ecuador, has said Julian Assange's asylum status in the country's London embassy is not under threat – provided he complies with the conditions of his stay and avoids voicing his political opinions on Twitter.

However, in an interview with Deutsche Welle on Wednesday, Moreno said his government would "take a decision" if Assange didn't comply with the restrictions.

"Let's not forget the conditions of his asylum prevent him from speaking about politics or intervening in the politics of other countries. That's why we cut his communication," he said. Ecuador suspended Assange's communication's system in March.
