    Twitter account of Turkish PM’s top adviser hacked, messages left against Berkin Elvan’s death

    A group of Turkish hackers have hacked the official Twitter account of Mustafa Varank, who is a top political advisers of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

    Hackers defaced the Twitter account, posting messages and images in solidarity with the protests in memory of Berkin Elvan, a 15-year-old teenager who died March 11 after being in a coma for 269 days due to a head injury caused by a teargas canister during the Gezi protests in Istanbul.

    Hurriyet Daily News reports that hackers changed the background image of Mustafa Varank’s Twitter account to Elvan’s portrait, posting messages which referred to Erdoğan as Elvan’s “murderer.”

    • “We know who Elvan’s killer is,” read one of the messages, which also contained a picture of Erdoğan with the inscription “I gave the instructions to the police.”

    Varank, one of the most active users of Twitter among Erdoğan’s advisers, recovered his account a few hours later. After regaining his account, Varank tweeted that:

    • “After voyeurism, montage and blackmail, they have also started to steal accounts. I think I have succeeded to get my account back. I apologize to my followers.”

    Before being hacked, Varank had posted several pictures from the southeastern cities of Bingöl and Bitlis, where Erdoğan held separate rallies.

    Protests were staged across Turkey over Elvan’s death during a night reminiscent of the nationwide Gezi protests.

     BERKIN

    “It is not Allah who has taken my son away. It is Erdoğan.”
    15 year-old Berkin Elvan’s mother

    HEY YOU!

    Yes, you! You, standing there scowling, fouling the planet’s air with your rancid words. Yes, you, the menace! You, the monster! You, the liar! You, the thief! You, the bully! You, the perverter of morals! You, the traitor! You, the killer!

    Yes, you and your infamous henchmen, Gül and Gülen. Yes, the three of you who share the same twisted, corrupt, un-watchable face. Your henchmen have the overwhelming ignorance, the stupendous arrogance to express condolences about your murder of 15 year-old Berkin Elvan, your eighth innocent victim. Yes, you, the big shot who gives all the orders. You had this boy shot with a tear gas canister. And you did your dirty business through one of your stooges in Gülen’s police force. Killers!

    So yes, I’m talking to you. And I’m talking to your other hack allies, Gül and Gülen. You three collaborators in the destruction of our nation have neither the moral standing nor the necessary trace of humanity to say one syllable about the heinous crime done to this peaceful boy. Such dim-witted arrogance! Why today, the day of Berkin’s death, your same fascist cops wantonly attacked people walking in peaceful protest over his killing, and in overflowing disgust with you, his murderer. This happened all over Turkey. Have you no shame? You attack mourners? Tomorrow, will you attack the boy’s corpse? Have you no, no….anything?

    And I’m also talking to all your other hacks, too numerous to mention but not too numerous to find and punish, for you all will be found and punished. Your Nazi-inspired criminal police force will pay a sublime price for their violent crimes against the people. As will your craven judges who so fouled the halls of justice with their feeble-minded decisions. And I’m talking to all the ones who implement your beastly orders that destroy our people and our nation. You know who they are. And so do we. The ones that bow and scrape the floor, the ones that think you’re so smart and tell you so all day, every day. And I’m talking to your bosses, the puppeteers that brought all of you here. We know where they are too.

    We have you all numbered, you see. And we already know how it will end. Here’s a hint. It already has.

    You all thought you were so smart, being backed by America and all. But you knew nothing, except how to steal, and lie, and cheat, and kill. What’s that? You think otherwise? Hah! Look at the nation. Look at America. Look at the world. Look at your faces.
