Turkey
blocks access to
WikiLeaks after leak of
300,000 emails
Turkey has blocked
access to the
WikiLeaks website
after the group
released around
300,000 emails from the ruling party of president Recep Tayyip Erdogan.*
Turkey's Telecommunications Communications Board
said it had taken an "administrative measure" against the website, a term used when blocking
access to sites.*
The trove of
emails from the AK Party, dated from 2010 to July 6 this year, were obtained before last Friday's failed coup.*
In a statement,
WikiLeaks said it moved forward its publication schedule "in response to the government's post-coup surges."*
"We have verified the material and the source, who is **t connected, in any way, to the elements behind the attempted coup, or to a rival political party or state," the group said.*
