Salman Rushdie expressed his satisfaction on Monday that the optimum 25-year prison sentence had been handed to a man who attempted to kill him with a weapon at a New York cultural center in 2022. In an interview with BBC Radio, Rushdie stated,” I was pleased that he received the maximum attainable, and finally he uses it to represent upon his activities. After being found guilty of attempted crime and abuse, Hadi Matar received a 25-year sentence in a New York court on May 16. Matar rushed onto the stage and slammed a knife into Rushdie, which left the British-American artist blind in one eye, during video footage that was shown during the test. In which he and Matar have an imagined talk, Rushdie wrote a memoir called” Knife” that chronicles the experience last month. ” If I were to actually join him,” Rushdie said,” I doesn’t expect far from him.” So I thought, also, I could start it by myself. I’d probably succeed in it more than a genuine dialogue did. epa
