Hadi Matar, convicted of stabbing Salman Rushdie in 2022, is set to be sentenced today. Matar faces a maximum of 25 years for attempted murder and assault. Rushdie, who was severely injured, testified during the trial and is not expected to attend the sentencing. Matar's actions were linked to a fatwa issued against Rushdie in 1989. Rushdie is also preparing to release a new book, 'The Eleventh Hour', later this year. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
