Sally Rooney can no longer sell books in UK due to Palestine Action support

Sally Rooney has withdrawn her books from sale in the UK after Palestine Action was banned as a terrorist organization, saying that receiving royalties from British sales could now constitute a criminal offense under terrorism laws. The Irish author, who publicly stated she would continue supporting the direct action group, cancelled a UK trip due to fear of arrest and her publisher Faber agreed to stop supplying her work in the country. Her decision highlights the impact of the organization's proscription on freedom of expression, despite her books being hugely successful in the UK market.
