Salman Rushdie was very stunned when a masked man on a platform on a platform in West New York began to pierce him and a lawyer who was attacked on Monday said the assassination of a lawyer was not trying to fight again.
77 -year -old Rushdie, NY, is expected to testify during the Hadi Mather’s hearing at the SU UT Dakua County Court in May, and brought the two to the first time after the attack.
On the day of the attack on August 2022, Booker’s prize -winning writer S UT Dakua was sitting in an armored chair on the stage at the Institution Ambitiator, presented the lecture on keeping the writers safe.
District lawyer Jason Schmid told the jurors that the attack was rapid and sudden. He said that he went to a stairs to the modern stage and ran to Rushdie about 30 feet. As soon as the stabbing began, Rushdie and fellow speaker Henry Reez was very stunned and they were seated at the beginning.
“Without hesitation, this man kept it at its speed at its speed, and he was raised to protect himself.
“All this happened very fast. The person who was attacked, Mr. Rushdie and the person sitting next to him, Mr. Rees did not record what was going on,” Schmid said.
Rushdie eventually got up and fled with Matha, while others suppressed the attacker, Schmid said. Reese, the co -founder of the City of Asilam, a non -profit organization -based organization -based organization, has been deported from their countries for controversial writing and met a gas above his eyes.
Modern, wearing a blue dress shirt, saw from the safety table during the opening reports, and occasionally picked up notes. The 27 -year -old NJ, who lives in the Fairway, admitted that he was not guilty of murder and assault.
“This is not the case of the wrong identity,” said Schmid. “Mr. Mathrr is the one who assaulted Mr. Rushdie.”
The writer feared life after the fatwa
British-American writer born in India described the attack and his long, painful recovery in a memoir, Knife: Meditarses after trying to killReleased last year.
Rushdie was concerned for her protection from his 1989 novel Satanic versesA novel, inspired by Muhammad’s life, used magical reality and gained fame from literary critics, was considered slanderous by many Muslims and published a fatwa that Iran’s Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini called for his death.
Rushdie spent many years in hiding, but he traveled independently after the last quarter century announced that Iran would not implement the decree.
The test is held as the 36th anniversary of the fatwa – February 14, 1989 – approaches.
In August 2022, the writer Salman Rushdie was brutally stabbed during the appearance of Rushdie, and even though he survived, he lost one eye and a hand using one hand – but the mind, humor and inappropriateness were maintained. In an extended interview, the CBC’s Nahla Ayed Rushdie talked about the attack and used the words as a weapon and free commentary.
Mather’s security faced a challenging beginning after it was announced that his lawyer Nathaniel Baron was hospitalized with an unleashed disease and would not attend the beginning of the investigation.
Judge David Foli refused a security request to postpone the opening statements, instead of instead of providing the initial report of security to one of Baron’s partners.
The Safety Court
Even using video records and photos, the prosecutors cannot prove Mather’s crime, Lynn Shafer told the Juars. He said the case was not as direct as the case was portrayed.
“The elements of the crime are more than ‘something very bad’ – they are very defined,” Shafar said. “Something bad happened. Something that happened very bad. But the district lawyer must prove more than that.”
He acknowledged that almost all the judges agreed during the arbitration exam.
“Even if you know that you are coming here, you have not told you why you are not going to tell you why you are not going to tell you what you receive from the district lawyer.”
Prosecutors said the case would last up to two weeks.
Mather told investigators that the S UT Takua, about 120 kilometers south of buffalo, was traveling by bus. It is believed that he slept on the basis of the art of the night before the attack.
Central authorities blame terrorism
On a separate charge, central authorities accuse Mathr of motivation by approve of the fatwa or command of a terrorist organization, calling for Rushdie’s death. A case on federal charges – terrorism violates national borders, providing material support to terrorists and trying to provide material support to a terrorist organization – will be planned in the US district court in buffalo.
