Turkey has blocked access to the WikiLeaks website, hours after it leaked thousands of ruling party emails just as Ankara grapples with the aftermath of a failed military coup, news.trust.org reports.
According to the source, WikiLeaks on Tuesday released nearly 300,000 emails from the AK Party dating from 2010 to July 6 this year. Obtained before the attempted coup, the date of their publication was brought forward "in response to the government's post-coup purges", WikiLeaks said on its website.
