Returning to Nepal on May 13, 2013, after spending\u00a011 nights 12 days in a Qatari jail<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0allegedly insulting Islam<\/a>, I discovered considerable media interest in\u00a0my story<\/a>. I had a number of interviews the week I arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one was published in Republica<\/em>. Click here<\/a> or on the image itself for the original. Or, click here<\/a> for the online version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(If interested, click here<\/a> for another one published at around the same time in Kantipur<\/em>, but in Nepalese, and here<\/a> for still another one published in Setopati<\/em>, also in Nepalese, and here<\/a> for the English translation of the same published in Nepali Times<\/em>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not surprisingly, a number of things I did say didn’t make it in the final print. But surprisingly, some things that I\u00a0didn’t<\/em>\u00a0say did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
