The source informs that according to CNN Türk, the hackers also tweeted on behalf of Sevan Nişanyan, noting that ‘a bird fled abroad and is proud of it’, adding that now ‘it's up to us to catch that bird’.

Nişanyan has made a Facebook post regarding the above mentioned, confirming that his Twitter account has been hacked.

To remind, Sevan Nişanyan was jailed on Dec. 2, 2014 for “construction infractions”, being sentenced to a total of 17 years in prison in Turkey. He escaped prison and fled Turkey on July 14, 2017.

According to some reports, Nişanyan was allowed to leave prison for one day every three months and simply did not return after his latest sanctioned leave.

“The bird has flown. Wish the same for 80 million left behind,” Nişanyan said in a Tweet on July 14, after his escape.

According to the latest reports, he applied for political asylum in Greece.
