Yusuf/Cat Stevens cancels book tour after being denied US visa
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/yusuf-cat-stevens-cancels-us-book-tour-after-being-denied-visa(www.middleeasteye.net)Pro-Palestine musician Yusuf/Cat Stevens has canceled his North American book tour after he was not granted a US visa in time. The singer had waited months for the visa to promote his autobiography but could no longer arrange the necessary production logistics. While the US State Department cited confidentiality and did not provide a reason, the denial follows Stevens' recent vocal criticism of Israel's war on Gaza and Western leaders' approach to international law. This is not the first instance of such an issue, as he was previously denied entry to the United States in 2004 on national security grounds.
