#OpHK aka Operation Hong Kong: Anonymous hacks Chinese Government website

Hacktivist collective Anonymous Antisec division earlier today hacked and defaced Chinese Government websites under Operation #OpHK

While the pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong are protesting on land, hacktivists from different part of the globe have joined together and taken a oath to support the protestors in their fight for democracy. 

Anonymous earlier today hacked and defaced many Hong Kong based websites including few of the Chinese Government websites.

In the great tradition of civil disobedience, We, Anonymous, declared war on injustice a few years ago. Once again the Chinese government strikes hard at its own people. At this very moment Chinese police forces are hurting innocent citizens who cry for liberty. Since we are many and we do not fear ANY abusive government or institution in the globe, we also declared war against the Chinese Government, well known for its authoritarian posture. We are only targeting .gov.cn and .gov.hk .mil.cn in opposition to their oppressive ways. We emphatically condemn those attacks against non governmental or non military targets. We stand in solidarity with the citizens of Hong Kong, a Statement released by the Anonymous read.
