The Middle East Eye, publishing an AFP report, describes several hundred activists occupying the construction site of a planned Microsoft data centre in Amsterdam's Sloterdijk district on 6 November 2026, halting work for the day as part of a two-day European mobilisation called by the Stop Dirty Data Centers coalition, which demands a pause in new data centre construction. Protesters organised by Geef Tegengas and Fossielvrij accused the project of facilitating Israel's genocide in Gaza and AI warfare, and Dutch agency ANP reported police arrested between 150 and 200 protesters.
