"Googlers against genocide" protesters were arrested on Tuesday after holding a 10-hour sit-in against the tech giant's contract with the Israeli government. Jane Chung, a spokesperson for the protesters, said in a press release that nine employees at offices in New York City and Sunnyvale, California, were arrested during Tuesday's sit-in.
Google employees were also arrested inside the tech company's Sunnyvale, California headquarters following a sit-in. Demonstrators were arrested after they occupied the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian to read their list of demands. The employees also demanded that the company stop "the harassment, intimidation, bullying, silencing, and censorship of Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim Googlers.
Google has ignored our demands, stifled internal discussion, openly lied, and committed flagrant acts of retaliation against workers merely for speaking up against the company's military contract with the genocidal and apartheid regime of Israel," Khatami said. "Project Nimbus is a major workplace health and safety concern for Googlers.
