Hackers stole Russian prisoner database to avenge death of Navalny
MOSCOW — Within hours of opposition leader Alexey Navalny’s death in February in a Russian prison, a group of anti-Kremlin hackers went looking for revenge.Using their access to a computer network tied to Russia’s prison system, the hackers plastered a photo of Navalny on the hacked prison contractor’s website, according to interviews with the hackers, screenshots and data reviewed by CNN.“Long live Alexey Navalny!” read a message on the hacked website, accompanied by a photo of Navalny and his wife Yulia at a political rally.In a stunning breach of security, they also appear to have stolen a database containing information on hundreds of thousands of Russian prisoners and their relatives and contacts, including, the hackers claim, data held on prisoners in the Arctic...

Turkish elections: Opposition heads for victory in Istanbul and Ankara
ISTANBUL — Turkey's main opposition party is closing in on victory in the main cities of Istanbul and Ankara, in high-stakes local elections.Istanbul's opposition mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, who won the city in 2019, said that he was "very happy" so far.A year after Recep Tayyip Erdogan secured a third term as president, he had made it his goal to win back the city where he grew up and became mayor.But the night belonged to the opposition as it closed in on victory.With 80% the vote counted in Istanbul, Imamoglu was almost 10 points ahead of his rival from Erdogan's AK Party.In the capital Ankara, his colleague in the secular opposition CHP, Mansur Yavas, was so far ahead of his rival that he declared victory when less than half the votes were in.President Erdogan, 70,...

Turkish vote: Battle to run Istanbul becomes key to country’s future
ANKARA — Millions of Turks are voting in elections to decide who runs their biggest cities — and whether President Recep Tayyip Erdogan can wrest back control from the opposition.Turkey’s economic and social powerhouse, Istanbul, was won by a united opposition five years ago under popular mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, shattering the president’s long run of electoral success.Now Erdogan, who was born in this megacity of 16 million people, wants it back and the vote is on a knife-edge.Whatever happens in Istanbul is being seen as a crucial test of whether the opposition can pose a serious threat to Erdogan and his AK Party in the next presidential elections in four years’ time.“Istanbul is his home. Losing Istanbul to the opposition in the 2019 local elections was devastating for him,”...
