Sally Rooney books can’t be sold in UK amid Palestine Action ban, publisher says

Sally Rooney's books can no longer be sold in the UK due to a ban on her publisher's dealings with the activist group Palestine Action. This ban was put in place by the UK government, which considers Palestine Action a "terrorist" organisation, following a July 2025 proscription. The impact of this ban is significant for markets and trade, as it highlights the risks of cultural and economic sanctions in response to political disagreements.
