Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor and presidential candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was detained and arrested on March 19, has had an access ban imposed on his account on the social media platform X. İmamoğlu, who is being held in Silivri Prison, had been continuing to convey messages to the public via social media during this process. However, with the access ban imposed on his account, this communication channel has also been closed.
Following these developments, the international hacker group Anonymous issued a harsh statement directed at President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The group's statement included the following expressions:
'Dictator Erdoğan, you think you can silence people by imprisoning your opponents and censoring their voices, but you are wrong.
Ekrem İmamoğlu's account was not just a Twitter account; it was the voice of the people.
No matter how much you hide behind censorship, the truth will find its way.
Elon Musk may obey your orders, but even he cannot stop the rising wave of freedom against you.
You are a dictator hiding behind walls of fear. Your time is running out.
Anonymous is working very hard on the #OpTurkey campaign. The results are coming... and there is nothing you can do to stop it.'
This statement by Anonymous has found wide resonance in the international public sphere and has been shared extensively by social media users.
