This undated personal photo provided on Thursday, Feb. 9, 2017 shows Palestinian author Abbad Yahya. He is stranded in Qatar after Palestinian authorities in the West Bank confiscated all copies of his latest novel and issued an arrest warrant, accusing him of including “sexual terms” in a provocative work that takes aim at taboo issues such as fanaticism, religious extremism and homosexuality. The crackdown on 29 year-old Yahya has set off a wide public debate between the Palestinian society’s conservative old guard and small, young and liberal minority. (Abbad Yahyia via AP)
