A top Qatari court on Monday upheld a 15-year jail term handed to a poet convicted of incitement against the regime, his lawyer said. “The Court of Cassation sentenced Mohammed al-Ajami to 15 years in prison,” confirming the sentence given to the poet by an appeals court in February, Nejib al-Naimi told AFP. He described Monday’s court ruling as “a political and not a judicial decision.” Ajami’s sole recourse now is to appeal to Qatar’s dictator Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani for clemency. (...)

I first met Kofi Awoonor as an excitable 17-year-old high school student then in the Sixth Form. We had been set Awoonor’s This Earth, My Brother as one of our A-Level texts, and needless to say no one, including the English teacher, seemed to have the faintest clue what the novel was about. I decided […]
