According to Satya Nadella, Microsoft EPP Jay Parikh's speech of protesters | Deployment

Jay Parikh is Executive Vice President of Microsoft Coreai. He spoke on the second day of the Build Conference in Seattle when a protester with No Azure interrupted his speech for apartheid.

The second protest

“Jay! My people suffer!” The unnamed technology worker screamed. “Cut ties! No azure blue for apartheid! Free, free Palestine!”

He was quickly led by security personnel who were present on site. A video of his disturbing protest was shared by No Azure for Apartheid on Instagram.

“Today's disorder – organized by No Azure for Apartheid – follows yesterday's disorders by Joe Lopez, a Microsoft worker with our No Azure for Apartheid campaign,” said the group.

Hossam Nasr, an organizer of the protest group, confirmed to the edge that they helped the technology worker. The NASR refused to name the demonstrator and only identify it as a “Palestinian technology worker”.

No Azure for Apartheid has contributed to disturbing several Microsoft events in the recent past -including Nadella's Keynote speech the day before. Joe Lopez disturbed the opening of the company at Build, while Nadella spoke on stage. He was also worked out quickly, but not before he managed to scream: “Satya, how about how it shows how Microsoft kills the Palestinians. How about showing how Israeli war crimes are driven by Azure?”

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and a service created by Microsoft. Due to their contracts with the Israeli government and the military, the criticism of some Palestinian demonstrators and human rights lawyers was suspended.

A few weeks ago, Microsoft released two employees who held protests at the 50th anniversary of the company.
