Amazon has suspended a Palestinian software engineer who criticized the company’s business ties with Israel through internal communications, according to CNBC reports. Ahmed Shahrour, who works for Amazon’s Whole Foods division in Seattle, was placed on paid suspension following posts on company Slack channels and a letter to executives including CEO Andy Jassy.
“It has come to Amazon’s attention that a post you made in multiple internal company Slack channels may violate multiple policies,” Shahrour received in a message from an Amazon HR rep, per CNBC. The company, as per the message, is said to be investigating the matter.
