Microsoft employee protests lead to 18 arrests as company reviews its work with Israel's military
Police officers have arrested 18 people during protests at Microsoft headquarters. The protests, led by workers, took place over two days and called for Microsoft to cut business ties with Israel. On Wednesday, police say protesters resisted leaving the campus, leading to arrests for trespassing and other charges. The protests come as Microsoft promises an urgent review of claims that the Israeli military used its technology for surveillance. Microsoft has tapped a law firm to investigate and plans to share the findings. The company faces ongoing pressure from the employee-led group No Azure for Apartheid.
