On Tuesday, about 700 workers were trapped in a lignite mine in Soma, a city in the province of Manisa in Turkey, after a blast. The team 's activists RedHack blame the authorities for the incident, and thus have distorted the official website of the Soma Municipality.
The Union reports that 256 people are already dead, and you expect the number to increase significantly. The ruling Justice and Development Party (JDP) has sent military and police forces to the region in an effort to prevent the actual number of victims from leaking, according to the publication
The cause of the accident has not been reported yet, but some believe that the accident resulted from an explosion in the command room or one of the transformers of the mine. In any case, groups from the mining sector underline the fact that privatization and unskilled work made the Soma Mine an unsafe workplace.
Hackers from the Turkish team RedHack managed to distort the website of the Municipality of Soma (in the domain soma.bel.tr) "in protest of the deaths from the explosion."
At the time of writing, the site has been restored.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
