Salman Rushdie: Hadi Matar pleads not guilty to attempted murder of author.

Quote:
The man accused of stabbing Sir Salman Rushdie several times has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder and assault.

A lawyer for Hadi Matar, 24, of New Jersey, entered the plea on his behalf during a formal hearing at a court in western New York.

Matar appeared in court wearing a black and white jumpsuit and a white face mask, with his hands cuffed in front of him.

A judge ordered Matar to be held without bail after discovering Matar took steps to purposely put himself in a position to harm Sir Salman.

Will be interesting what his defence will be.

For the moval of doubt, yes, I do condemn the attack just as I condemn the death of the Japanese translator under mysterious circumstances in 1991 (still unsolved), the Norwegian publisher William Nygaard shot in the back 3 times in 1993, the Italian translator Ettore Capriolo who was beaten and attacked with a knife and In 1993, the Islamic militants who set fire to a hotel in eastern Turkey in a plot to kill author and tranlator of the book Aziz Nesin.

The fatwah wasn't just issued against Rushdie but anyone else involved with the book.

Re: Salman Rushdie is attacked

I suspect his defence will be the fatwah being legitimate licence for him to act, therefore any killing would have been lawful - murder being unlawful killing, rather than killing per se.
