This Saturday, American prosecutors in the state of New York confirmed that they have charged the perpetrator of the attack on Salman Rushdie in the second degree.
“Hadi Matar, 24, responsible for this attack, has been charged with attempted second-degree murder and second-degree assault,” Chautauqua County District Attorney Jason Schmidt said in a statement.
He added: “According to these accusations, the accused was summoned on Friday evening without the possibility of bail.”
Rushdie, 75, was speaking at the Chautauqua Cultural Institute in northwest New York on Friday when a man walked on stage and rushed the British-Indian author before stabbing him. A despicable attack and horrific violence.”
Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, issued a fatwa to waste his blood in 1368 due to the novel “Ayat Shaitani”.
Rushdi was put on a breathing mask after a surgery that lasted hours, and according to his lawyer, he may lose one of his eyes.
