2025年7月，英国工党政府以该组织为“恐怖组织”为由对其实施了禁令，此后数千人因抗议这一决定而被逮捕。
The Labour government has been heavily criticised by some for proscribing Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group in July 2025, with thousands of people arrested since for protesting against the move.
公开信中写道：“莎莉·鲁尼是一位作家，而非恐怖分子；她的作品理应向公众开放。”签署该信的知名人士包括诺贝尔奖得主安妮·埃尔诺（Annie Ernaux）和安妮·卡森（Anne Carson）。
"Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public," said the letter signed by such notable figures as Nobel laureates Annie Ernaux and Anne Carson.
上周，莎莉·鲁尼及其出版商费伯出版社（Faber）宣布，由于她对该组织的支持，他们不得不停止在英国销售她的书籍。
Rooney and her publisher Faber last week announced they had to end the sale of her books in the UK because of her support for the pro-Palestinian group.
该禁令将“巴勒斯坦行动组织”与哈马斯（Hamas）和真主党（Hezbollah）等激进组织列在同一份黑名单上，使得在该组织中任职、支持或为其提供资金的行为在英国有罪。
The proscription, which the organisation is appealing, puts Palestine Action on the same blacklist as militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah, making it illegal in the UK to be part of, support or finance it.
莎莉·鲁尼多次表示支持“巴勒斯坦行动组织”，并表示打算为该组织提供资金；而她在爱尔兰（她的居住和工作地）并未受到任何限制。
Rooney has repeatedly expressed her support for Palestine Action and said she intends to fund the group, which is not proscribed by Ireland, where the author lives and works.
费伯出版社表示，由于这项禁令，他们无法将莎莉·鲁尼在英国获得的版税合法地转交给她。她的畅销书《普通人》（Normal People）和《间奏曲》（Intermezzo）等作品使她被誉为“一代人的代言人”。
Faber said the ban meant it could not legally pass on royalties earned in the UK to Rooney, whose best-sellers including "Normal People" and "Intermezzo" have earned her praise as the "voice of a generation".
公开信还指出：“基于这种考虑不周且过于严厉的反恐立法，他们决定停止销售莎莉·鲁尼的作品，这侵犯了言论自由和表达自由的基本原则——而这些原则在英国长期以来一直被视为理所当然。”该公开信还得到了演员保罗·梅斯卡尔（Paul Mescal）和蒂尔达·斯温顿（Tilda Swinton）等人的联名支持。
"Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti-terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country," the open letter, also signed by actors Paul Mescal and Tilda Swinton, adds.
“我们绝对拒绝审查——无论是直接还是间接的——并敦促政府改变方向，修改导致我们陷入这种压制性荒谬境地的立法。” 其他签署者包括作家科尔姆·托宾、阿伦达蒂·罗伊、朱帕·拉希里、扎迪·史密斯和朱利安·巴恩斯。
"We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity." Other signatories include authors Colm Toibin, Arundhati Roy, Jhumpa Lahiri, Zadie Smith and Julian Barnes.
上周，警方表示正在调查英国国家安全顾问妻子莎拉·赫尔姆的一条社交媒体帖子，因其声援该组织——尽管他们后来表示这不值得进行刑事调查。
Last week, police said they were looking into a social media post by Sarah Helm, the wife of the UK's national security advisor, for supporting the group - although they later said it did not merit a criminal investigation.
巴勒斯坦行动在其网站上声明的目标是结束“全球对以色列种族灭绝和种族隔离政权的参与”。
Palestine Action's stated goal on its website is to end "global participation in Israel's genocidal and apartheid regime".
该组织被列为禁组织，此前其发起了一系列高调特技抗议加沙战争，包括以武器工厂为目标，特别是属于以色列军火集团埃尔比特系统的工厂。
Its proscription came after a series of high-profile stunts protesting the war in Gaza, including targeting weapons factories, especially those belonging to Israeli arms group Elbit.
英国最高法院定于下个月审理该组织联合创始人胡达·阿莫里针对禁令提出的上诉。
Britain's Supreme Court is set to hear an appeal against the ban from the group's cofounder Huda Ammori next month.
