Access to WikiLeals has been blocked for Turkish residents after the whistleblowing website dumped nearly 300,000 emails from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling party AKP online.
Turkey has blocked its residents from accessing WikiLeaks after the whistleblowing website dumped nearly 300,000 emails from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling party AKP online.
After WikiLeaks warned on Twitter that it was about to leak a trove of emails, which claims to expose Turkey's political power structure, the government moved to block access to the site. Perhaps coincidentally, Wikileaks has been under cyberattack since the announcement.
The leaked documents, which are being called the 'Erdogan Emails', were obtained a week before Turkey saw an attempted coup to overthrow Erdogan that resulted in almost 300 deaths. As a result WikiLeaks moved forward its publication schedule in response to the government's post-coup purges; Ibtimes reported.
