UK bookstores scramble as Sally Rooney's novels are pulled over Palestine Action support
France 24 [en] · western europe
Critically acclaimed Irish novelist Sally Rooney's announcement that her books could no longer be sold in the UK due to her support for proscribed group Palestine Action has left British booksellers rushing to stock up on her works before distributors run out. The British government's ban on the group, which practiced non-violent direct action and sabotage against UK military assets believed to be working with the Israeli government, makes support for Palestine Action punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
