14 DAY TRIAL // Just as the 14 individuals suspected of being involved with RedHack and Anonymous were presented before the Ankara Courthouse, RedHack hackers were busy breaching the official website of Turkey’s Justice and Development Party (APK).
On the Parliament section of akparti.org.tr, the hackers posted an apology on behalf of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
According to the message published by RedHack, Erdogan admits that the arrested people are innocent and calls the operation against the hacktivist group a “charade.”
The website was quickly restored by its administrators.
RedHack members say the individuals arrested by Turkish police don’t have anything to do with the group. Instead, they’re people who spoke up against the government during the Gezi protests.
The hackers say the arrests demonstrate the fact that authorities are desperate and that they’re trying to put pressure on the group.
