Rooney stated that she wants to use the proceeds from the sale of her books to support this organisation. In 2025, the British government designated it a terrorist group and banned its operation in the country. Its members had previously carried out attacks that led to the organisation's ban. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
Faber confirmed that it will stop supplying the author's books for sale in the United Kingdom. The publisher also stated that it cannot pay her royalties from British sales, as this could trigger legal complications related to financing a banned organisation. RTE News ↗
Sally Rooney is among the most successful contemporary Irish authors. She became famous particularly for the novels Normal People and Intermezzo, which are sold in many countries. However, her public support for Palestine Action has created a conflict between her political stance and the legal obligations of her British publisher. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The decision concerns the sale of her books in the United Kingdom. Neither the publisher nor the author has yet announced whether the situation will change in the event of a change in Palestine Action's legal status or following a further review of British regulations.
