US EditionLawyers to deliver closing arguments in the trial of man charged with stabbing Salman Rushdie
- Lawyers will deliver closing arguments in the trial of Hadi Matar, charged with attempting to kill Salman Rushdie during a 2022 lecture in New York, leaving Rushdie with serious injuries and blind in one eye.
- Rushdie presented his now-blinded right eye to jurors, and a trauma surgeon testified that his injuries would have been fatal without prompt medical intervention.
- Matar faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted of attempted murder, and his attorneys are questioning his intent to kill Rushdie.
- The attack was reportedly motivated by a fatwa issued by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989, after Rushdie published 'The Satanic Verses.
