Hackers on trial in Turkey for the first time
The 10 members of the Redhack group are accused of belonging to an armed terrorist organisation, illegally obtaining confidential documents and personal information, as well as cracking into private systems without authorisation.
The suspects, three of whom have been in custody since March, face prison sentences ranging from eight to 24 years if convicted.
Redhack claims to be affiliated with the international hackers' group Anonymous group, and has carried out several online attacks against state and private domains since 1997.
Some of the websites they targeted have included the Turkish intelligence agency, the country's Internet watchdog and Turkish Airlines.
Turkey has strengthened its legislation in recent years to fight hackers.
