Julian Assange is launching legal action against Ecuador, accusing its government of violating his "fundamental rights and freedoms".
It comes after Ecuador cut off communications for Mr Assange, who has been living inside the country's London embassy for more than six years.
Baltasar Garzon, the lawyer for Wikileaks, has arrived in Ecuador to launch the case, which is expected to be heard next week in a domestic court.
Wikileaks claim Mr Assange's access to the outside world has been "summarily cut off" and say Ecuador has threatened to remove the protection he has had since being given political asylum.
They said Ecuador's government has refused to allow a visit by Human Rights Watch general counsel Dinah PoKempner and prevented several meetins with Mr Assange's lawyers.
