The online Turkish hacktivist group RedHack has hacked and defaced the official website of Istanbul Police Association in tribute to Berkin Elvan, a 15-year-old teenager who died March 11, 2014 after being in a coma for 269 days due to a head injury caused by a teargas canister during the Gezi protests in Istanbul, Turkey.
RedHack gained admin privileges of Istanbul Police Association website and redirected the site’s homepage to pasteht.ml, an anonymous HTML hosting service for web demos and markup messages.

Those visiting the police association website are currently redirected to http://pasteht.ml/Y19qE where a message in Turkish language bashes country’s prime minster Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, his party AKP and vows to take revenge of Berkin’s death.
“Berkin Elvan is immortal! The killers continue to grow their fears. Because they are afraid; Killer AKP and leash servants are afraid of the revolution Berk,” according to the message.
