Since Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno took office in 2017, Assange has repeatedly claimed that Ecuador has been making his life more difficult in an attempt to force him to vacate the premises.
Ecuador has denied Assange’s allegations, with Attorney General Inigo Salvador telling reporters in October that his country was “not looking to revoke” Assange’s asylum.
However, Moreno said in December that if the UK government guaranteed that Assange would not be extradited to a third country where he could face the death penalty, the WikiLeaks founder should hand himself in to the authorities.

Ecuador said the UK had given such a guarantee, but Moreno said he needed clarification on the British position.
Last year, Assange was told he had to abide by new rules imposed by the Ecuadorian embassy, which included paying for his food, medical care and laundry, taking care of his cat, keeping the parts of the embassy he uses clean, and obtaining prior authorization for visitors.
