People Against Genocide Occupy Keysight Technologies

12-11-25

From 5AM on Wednesday 12th November, 2 activists from the pro-Palestine direct action group, People Against Genocide, scaled the roof of Keysight Technologies UK Headquarters, at 610 Wharfedale Road, Winnersh Triangle, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG41 5TP. Having reached the roof, the pair unfurled a banner which read "UK: Stop Arming Israel" and caused exterior damage to the building, with the aim of shutting Keysight down.

Keysight produce military electronic components, which have been used in the genocide in Gaza. They export their deadly wares directly to the Israeli military, as well as supplying them to UAV Tactical Systems, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, who manufacture over 85% of the Israeli attack drones responsible for so many Palestinian deaths. Keysight also have business links to the French arms giant, Thales.

The company have been the target of direct action before, and just a few days ago, on November 7th, the 'Autonomous Activist Group' paid a visit to Keysight's offices in Edinburgh, with windows, lights, and air-conditioning units smashed, and paint sprayed both inside the offices, and on the exterior windows and walls. Their Telford factory has also been targeted in the past.

At the time of issue, the activists were still on the Keysight roof, and still determined to make their mark.

A spokesperson for People Against Genocide said: "While the pro-genocide governments, and the complicit media, claim there is a ceasefire in Gaza, Palestinians continue to be killed and maimed by weapons produced in this country. By attempting to prevent this, we are upholding international law, which Keir Starmer, and the equally corrupt politicians around him, have trampled over. History will be our judge. And theirs."
