Irish novelist Sally Rooney announced that her bestselling books including "Normal People" and "Conversations with Friends" will no longer be sold in Britain after she pledged to donate her royalties to Palestine Action, a pro-Palestinian group banned as a terrorist organisation by the British government. Rooney and her publisher made the joint announcement on October 16, with Rooney citing her vocal support for Palestine Action even after it was proscribed under UK terrorism laws last year. The decision marks a significant clash between artistic freedom and government designation of organizations as terrorist entities, drawing international attention to the intersection of literature, activism and counterterrorism policy.
