WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who was arrested last week, tried to use the Ecuadorian Embassy in London as a “center for spying,” Ecuadorian President Lenín Moreno told the Guardian on Monday.

“Any attempt to destabilize is a reprehensible act for Ecuador, because we are a sovereign nation and respectful of the politics of each country,” Moreno told the Guardian by email.

“We cannot allow our house, the house that opened its doors, to become a center for spying.”

Moreno referenced WikiLeaks’s publication of Vatican documents in January 2019 as a recent example of spying.
