The author, known for books such as ”Normal people” and ”Intermezzo” says that if the support means that she according to British law supports terror, so be it, writes The Guardian. In a debate article earlier this summer in Irish Times, Rooney also launched a harsh attack on the government and wrote then:
"The current British government has deprived its citizens of fundamental rights and freedoms, including the right to express and read dissenting opinions, to protect its relationship with Israel”.
The pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action has primarily focused on arms companies, as a protest against what is happening in Gaza. It was labelled as a terror organisation in the UK in early July, after breaking into a military airbase in southern England and causing millions in damage to two aircraft.
About 700 people have been arrested since the group was labelled as a terror organisation, including 522 people who last weekend demonstrated in sympathy with the banned group.
