Cat Stevens accepts libel damages

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7513574.stm

Excerpt:

Musician Cat Stevens - now known as Yusuf Islam - has won libel damages over articles suggesting he refused to talk to women not wearing a veil.
...

WENN and Contactmusic.com also agreed to pay the singer's legal costs, while the damages have been donated to his charity Small Kindness.

The musician, who converted to Islam in 1977, was not in court.

In 2005, Mr Islam won substantial libel damages from The Sun and Sunday Times after they falsely claimed he supported terrorism.
