Faber Halts Sally Rooney's UK Sales Citing Counterterrorism Law

Original: sally rooney

Publisher Faber has stopped selling Sally Rooney's books in the United Kingdom, citing counterterrorism legislation. The move is linked to Rooney's public support for Palestine Action, which the UK government proscribed as a terrorist organisation in 2025. The decision has drawn attention across the UK, Canada and Sweden, with readers and commentators debating the implications for free expression and publishing.

Why now: A major publisher suspending sales of one of the world's most prominent novelists over counterterrorism law is an unusual and contentious development.
