Sally Rooney, the acclaimed author of 'Normal People', has warned that her books may be withdrawn from sale in the United Kingdom and future works may not be published there due to legal uncertainty following the government's ban on Palestine Action. The High Court heard that Rooney's vocal support for the banned group could make it a criminal offence for publishers and producers to pay her, as anti-terror laws prohibit financial support for proscribed organisations. Rooney stated that this situation could severely restrict her income and prevent her from working with UK-based publishers or producers, effectively making her books unavailable to readers in the United Kingdom. The Home Office defended the ban, arguing it is necessary to prevent support for terrorism, while Rooney described the impact as an extreme incursion into artistic expression. The legal challenge against the ban is ongoing, with a decision expected in writing after the hearing concludes.
