Sally Rooney Books Withdrawn In UK Over Palestine Action Support. Irish author Sally Rooney says her books will no longer be supplied to UK retailers because of her support for Palestine Action, which is proscribed as a terrorist organisation in Britain. Rooney has previously said she intends to continue using royalties from her work to support the group, which is not proscribed in the Republic of Ireland. The Normal People author said continuing to publish her work in Britain could therefore constitute a "serious criminal offence”. Publisher Faber said it could no longer pass UK earnings to Rooney and had agreed with the author to stop supplying her books in Britain in any format. Ebook editions have already been removed from sale, although bookshops can continue selling existing stocks of physical copies. Rooney has sold more than six million books worldwide, including 2.3 million in the UK, with Normal People adapted into a hit television series. Palestine Action was proscribed by the UK government in 2025, which cited the direct-action group's history of criminal damage. More than 3,700 people are believed to have been arrested over alleged support for Palestine Action, as a legal challenge to its proscription heads to the Supreme Court.
