内容总结：

微软公司周三在其雷德蒙德园区遭遇抗议活动并导致20人被捕后，公司与抗议组织各执一词。抗议团体"拒绝Azure用于种族隔离"指控警方实施"不必要且不正当的暴力"，而微软则强调绝大多数被捕者非公司员工。

这场持续两日的抗议活动源于微软与以色列的技术合作合同。抗议者要求微软切断与以色列的所有联系，指控以方在加沙地区使用微软技术对付巴勒斯坦人。周三示威者重新聚集在东校区广场，向公司标志泼洒红色油漆象征鲜血，并封锁桥梁，最终因非法侵入、恶意破坏和拒捕等罪名被捕。

微软周四声明强调，被捕的20人中仅1人为现任员工，3人为前员工，绝大多数（包括持假工牌者）从未就职于微软。公司表示"虽然支持员工政治表达的权利，但园区是工作场所，禁止在私有财产上进行示威活动"。

抗议组织于周四晚在微软园区附近举行新闻发布会，前员工兼活动组织者霍萨姆·纳斯尔称被捕时遭警方暴力压制导致肩部受伤，另有示威者指控被胡椒弹近距离射击背部。雷德蒙德警方确认使用了胡椒弹但未接到受伤报告，最初发布于X平台的逮捕照片后被删除。

微软公布监控视频显示，抗议者曾骑自行车占据公司标志区、用移动围栏限制警察行动，并与农贸市场工作人员发生冲突导致市场关闭。公司表示将继续在技术合同中维护人权标准，并宣布对近期媒体关于其Azure云平台被用于监视巴勒斯坦人的报道进行审查。

微软与抗议者就周三公司雷德蒙德园区示威事件的说法截然不同，该事件导致20人被捕——组织者指控警方暴力执法，而微软则强调绝大多数被捕者非公司员工。
公司在周四下午的声明中表示："我们必须明确，8月20日发生在园区的破坏性激进抗议活动并不代表我们的员工立场。"
周四的新闻发布会上，"不为种族隔离提供Azure"组织成员描述了其所谓的"警方不必要且不合理的暴力行为"。
这些对峙声明源于微软与以色列技术合约引发的持续两日升级的抗议。该组织要求微软切断与以色列的所有联系，指控以方利用微软技术加害加沙地带的巴勒斯坦人。
周二解散后，示威者于周三重返微软东校区广场再次占据部分区域。他们向公司标识泼洒象征鲜血的红色油漆，封锁桥梁，最终因非法侵入、恶意破坏和拒捕等罪名被捕。
微软承诺将继续在技术合约中维护人权标准。上周公司宣布将审查《卫报》等媒体近期报道——其Azure云平台被用于监控巴勒斯坦人。
微软在周四声明中指出，周三被捕的20人中仅1名为现任员工，3名为前员工（总数较最初报告的18人有所增加）。
"几乎所有被捕者（包括持假工牌者）从未在微软工作过"，声明补充道，"虽然我们支持员工政治表达的权利，但员工明确知悉园区是商业场所，禁止在私有财产区域进行示威。"
"不为种族隔离提供Azure"组织周四晚在微软园区附近的公共交通站举行新闻发布会，再次呼吁公司切断与以色列的联系。
该组织召集人、前微软员工霍萨姆·纳斯尔（此次被捕者之一）称，他在未系安全带的情况下被押入警车后，因司机急刹车而"遭暴力撞击"导致肩部受伤。
另一名抗议者在发布会上表示自己在近距离被胡椒弹击中背部。周三下午抗议现场附近，GeekWire记者目睹该抗议者被捕后背部出现大面积红肿。
雷德蒙德警察局公共信息官吉尔·格林通过邮件表示，警方未收到任何抗议者投诉，并确认使用了胡椒弹。
警方周三在X平台发文称未接到伤亡报告。该帖子初版曾包含四名警察在地面制伏抗议者的照片，但后续更新版本已删除图文。
微软公布的监控视频显示：抗议者骑自行车占据公司标识前区域；试图将警察围困在移动护栏内；与为员工农贸市场演出的DJ发生冲突；最终导致市场被迫关闭。

Microsoft and protesters offered sharply conflicting accounts of a demonstration that led to 20 arrests on the company’s Redmond campus Wednesday, with organizers alleging police brutality, and the company saying the vast majority of those arrested were not employees.
“We want to be clear that the destructive and aggressive protest that took place on our campus on August 20 does not represent our workforce,” the company said in a statement Thursday afternoon.
At a press conference Thursday, members of the group No Azure for Apartheid described what they called “unnecessary and unjustifiable violence” by police.
The dueling statements followed two days of escalating protests over Microsoft’s technology contracts with Israel. The group is demanding the company cut all ties with Israel over its alleged use of Microsoft technology against Palestinians in Gaza.
After disbanding on Tuesday, demonstrators returned Wednesday to again take over a portion of the plaza at Microsoft’s East Campus. They poured red paint on a company sign to symbolize blood, and blocked a bridge, leading to arrests on charges including trespassing, malicious mischief, and resisting arrest.
Microsoft has pledged to continue upholding human rights standards in its tech contracts. Last week, the company announced a review of a recent report by the Guardian and others that its Azure cloud platform is used in the surveillance of Palestinians.
In its statement Thursday, the company said the 20 people arrested in the Wednesday protest included one current employee, and three former employees. (The total increased from initial reports of 18 arrests.)
“Almost all of those arrested [Wednesday], including some carrying fake company ID cards, have never worked at Microsoft,” the company said.
The statement added, “While we support employees’ rights to political expression, our employees know that our campuses are places for business and demonstrations on our private property are not permitted.”
No Azure for Apartheid held a press conference Thursday evening at a public transit station near the Microsoft campus, calling again on the company to cut ties with Israel.
Hossam Nasr, an organizer of the group and a former Microsoft employee who was among those arrested, said he was “violently tackled” and suffered a shoulder injury when a driver slammed on the brakes after he was placed in a police vehicle without a seatbelt.
Another protester at the press conference said he was shot at point-blank range in the back with pepper balls. Near the scene of the protest Wednesday afternoon, GeekWire reporters saw the protester with large welts on his back after his arrest.
Jill Green, public information officer for the Redmond Police Department, said via email that the police haven’t received any claims from protesters. RPD confirmed that pepper balls were used.
The police said in a post on X on Wednesday that no injuries were reported.
An initial version of that post on Wednesday by the Redmond Police included a photograph of four officers arresting a protester on the ground. That post was removed and the photo was not included when an updated post was published later.
Microsoft released surveillance video that shows protesters taking over the space in front of the Microsoft sign on their bikes; attempting to corral a police officer inside a portable fence; confronting a DJ who was there for a local farmers’ market for employees; and ultimately causing the market to be shut down.
