WikiLeaks has released 300 thousand Turkish documents. In Turkey, blocked access to the site

Despite the massive DDoS attack, Wikileaks activists kept their promise and published the first 300,000 documents from the Turkish archive AKP Emails tonight . It includes copies of e-mails of members of the ruling party AKP (Justice and Development Party), which is behind the current president Recep Tayyip Erdoan (Recep Tayyip Erdoğan).



The first part of the archive includes the contents of 762 mailboxes with the letter "A" to the letter "I", a total of 294,548 texts with thousands of attached files.



All documents were received from akparti.org.tr mail server, the main mail domain of the AKP batch. The last letter is dated July 6, 2016, the earliest ones refer to 2010. It is important to keep in mind that correspondence from akparti.org.tr addresses mainly reflects the communication of party members with the outside world, rather than internal backstage discussions.



The material was received by Wikileaks a week before the attempted so-called “coup” and the subsequent stripping, which resulted in the arrest of about 50,000 military, police, judges, teachers and representatives of the political opposition.

In connection with the latest events, Wikileaks activists decided to speed up the publication of documents, that is, to publish them ahead of schedule. However, they managed to check the documents and the source, and conclude that they are in no way related to the latest political events in Turkey.

On the special page of Wikileaks, a full-text search is available in the mail archive, including in messages from the Spam folder and search in the names of attached files (attachments). Documents themselves activists have not had time to recognize and index. But in one of the documents found a list of telephone numbers of deputies AKP.







Created by Julian Assange, the hacktivist organization Wikileaks publishes publicly available secret documents, primarily those received from government servers. In 2010, she published the archive of US diplomatic and military correspondence, which was the largest information leak in US history.



Today, the Telecommunications and Communications Council of Turkey announced that “administrative measures” have been taken against the Wiklileaks site - usually this term means blocking the site.



Wikileaks activists today at 3:45 published a screenshot that appears when they try to access the Wikileaks website from Turkey without using tools to circumvent censorship.







Turkey regularly blocks access to the Internet and to individual sites during major political events, which human rights activists consider a manifestation of censorship and an attack on freedom of speech.



Anonymous’s hacktivist movement supported the publication of Wikileaks documents and urged Turkish citizens to use tools to circumvent censorship, including Tor, I2P and VPN. They promised to make efforts to translate documents into English to make information accessible to an international audience.
