Huge leak from Turkeys AK Party, Erdogan blocks access to WikiLeaks!

WikiLeaks released nearly 300,000 e-mails from the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) dating from 2010 to July 6, 2016.

WikiLeaks said on its website that the publication was brought forward "in response to the government's post-coup purges"..

From the Reuters article:

Turkey's Telecommunications Communications Board said on Wednesday that an "administrative measure" had been taken against the website - the term it commonly uses when blocking access to sites.

Turkey routinely uses Internet shutdowns in response to political events, which critics and human rights advocates see as part of a broader attack on the media and freedom of expression.

This is no surprise, Erdogan has been a proud supporter of ISIS and I'm sure there's a lot of dirty things to be found in those emails

Yea, no surprise. It would be a shame to get a country like Turkey into EU at the moment!

Does anybody know some mirror sites for WikiLeaks?
I think maybe https://wikileaks.ch/ works in Turkey, but I'm not sure. Could anyone from Turkey test it for me?
