Police authorities have recently launched a comprehensive investigation into socialist hacker group RedHack whose motto is “Halk için Hack”, which means “Hack for the people”. The members of the group, which identifies itself as a Marxist and Leninist group, has hit a number of sites of government institutions recently in response to the undone justice by Turkish judiciary and the unlawful practices by the Turkish state and government.

The group has recently took over the website of Turkey's Ministry of Religious Affairs on the 20th anniversary of the Sivas massacre in which 33 Alewi intellectuals burned to death in the fire set by radical Islamist groups in Madımak Hotel in 1993.

In a tweet about the attack, the group said that ;” This is an answer to those who dine for Ramadan at five-starhotels but burn people at three-star ones".

Before that, the group had hacked Istanbul Special Provincial Administration website and opened all the documents to public, announcing the user name and password of the website on its twitter account “@TheRedHack”. The group also claimed to have erased peoples utility debts.

One other recent attack of the group targeted the website of District Governor of Lice after the Lice attack in which one person, Medeni Yıldırım, 18, was killed and ten others were wounded as a result of the fire opened by Turkish soldiers on people protesting the construction of military posts in the Kurdish region.

The group has also joined radio programs recently, giving answers to all the questions directed to them, including why they fight against the state. The group's answer is simple; "We stand by the people and against those who violate their basic rights".

The Turkish government is obviously disturbed by the acts of the RedHack, which says it will continue its "work" until justice is done, but it fails to reach its members, and arrests instead other people for alleged ties with the the left-wing hacker group.

Police authorities have recently intensified their efforts to go after the hacker group in connection with the tweets they posted during the month of June when Gezi protests bagan and soon spread across the country.

According to an article by Abdurrahman Şimşek from Sabah newspaper, police and intelligence units have launched a large-scale investigation into all online activities of the left-wing group.

Şimşek wrote that the Communications Electronics Department of Police Office of Istanbul identified RedHack as a “cyber terrorist organization” in the report it prepared and sent to the deputy public prosecutor of Istanbul.

According to the report, the investigation into the group will be carried out by Muammer Aktaş, a prosecutor who worked on Ergenekon case. The report claimed that holders of the IP addresses detected by police will be charged with “being members of a cyber terrorist organization”.

Members of the RedHack are accused of inciting public to commit crimes via twitter during the Gezi Resistance and countrywide protests.

In the report, police cited some of the tweets posted by the group, including;

"14 June: People will be taking to the streets in all areas of the country as of 2.00 p.m today afternoon. Protestors demand that you make the announcements of today's protests. Please post the reports of the resistance on the resistance hashtag. The resistance is growing.

15 June: We are marching with all our heart for an equal and fair world without exploitation and classes, and for brotherhood and freedom. They shall stop us if they are brave enough to do so. Those who provide free transportation, rain coat and food in their own rallies [referring to the Kazlıçeşme rally of the AKP] send us toma (riot control vehicles), tear gas and batons, will you remain silent? The neighborhoods of Gazi, Sarıgazi, Okmeydanı, Nurtepe, Çağlayan, 1 Mayıs and Gülsuyu, your home, brother and mother is waiting for you".

The group strongly condemned the efforts aimed at the criminalization of their members for telling the truths and voicing demands for justice and freedom.

"Let them call us terrorists. We wont yield in on our struggle to demand freedom and justice and hacking while our people are suffering. If terrorism means suppressing the public with fear and violence, who is doing it then? Redhack or AKP? ", the group said on its twitter account and reminded that police called the group terrorists while they themselves have killed four people, injured 10 thousand, left 12 eyeless and put 65 into coma in the last one month alone.

Protecting and defending the public's rights and freedom, and wanting equality for all those demanding justice is not terrorism, the group pointed out and noted that becoming a terrorist for defending minorities, equality and justice could only occur in Turkey presumably.

Tens of thousands are supporting the group with tweets on the hashtag “#RedHackisNotTerrorist” on twitter, saying that the group stood by the people and that it was the government who should be taken to trial for terrorism.
