Sally Rooney discusses Palestine Action ban’s impact on her books

Famed Irish novelist Sally Rooney testified in the UK High Court that a legal ban on the activist group Palestine Action could prevent her from publishing new work in Britain. She expressed concern that the ban might also lead to her existing books being withdrawn from sale, emphasizing its implications for freedom of expression. Rooney supports the group’s efforts against perceived crimes by Israel in Gaza and plans to direct her earnings to Palestine Action. The court hearing, which addresses the legality of the ban, is set to conclude soon.
