Qatar imprisons Sudanese author for questioning Islamic principles

Qatar has sentenced Sudanese author Dr. Abdulrahman Muhammad Yadi Al-Noor to three years in prison for questioning Islamic principles and inciting sectarianism. Al-Noor was accused of undermining the foundations of Islam and disturbing public order in his book, which details his conversion to Shia Islam and his critique of certain historical interpretations. The case raises concerns about freedom of belief and expression, with critics arguing that questioning historical narratives or changing religious affiliation should not be criminalized.
