Faber Halts UK Sales of Sally Rooney Books Over Palestine Action Donations
The publisher Faber stopped selling Sally Rooney's books in the United Kingdom and Ireland after the author directed her royalties to Palestine Action, and the move has sparked debate over the political implications of her support. Zeteo reported that Rooney could be detained if she entered the United Kingdom because Palestine Action was designated a terrorist organization in 2025.
Slate earlier said legal advice warned that paying her royalties might breach the Terrorism Act, prompting the suspension. The BBC noted that the halt followed Rooney's announcement that she would continue donating royalties to the proscribed group.
