tHe will come face to face with the author Salman Rushdie this week with a man who is alleged to have tried to take his life in a knife attack during the 2022 literary festival near the ice edge, the Lexide New York community. Which is hosting a close trial. .
Hadi Matar’s two -time delayed trial began on Monday with opening arguments, which could prove to be a face among religious forces, which tried to destroy the 77 -year -old Rushdie, since Iran’s late leader Ayatollah Roh A fatwa was issued by Allah Khomeini. Devilian verses in 1988.
The 27 -year -old Matar, who has not been convicted of charges of murder and attack, is expected to be testified in the large, imposed courtroom in the New York city of fruits, in which Rushdie’s testimony will be given. Matar was shifted from Chotuka County Jail across the road and even less than a mile from the Liberal Arts Community, Chotuka Institute. Where the incident happened.
Mayoville is an extraordinary place for such an exhibition, and this case is like this city, such as the city, on the coast of Lake Chotuka, is preparing its winter festival next weekend. An ice fort is under construction. And there is no shortage of snow and snow – this year 142in has decreased.
The lake has been closed with ice fishermen and small tents of ice mobs. But the trial will bring memories of the day of August when emergency cars sirens suddenly harassed the alleged crime in the site of the fruit lakes.
“It came to see a beautiful area and all the problems in the world but not for the right reasons,” said Nicole Cranisky at the Web Hotel, along with the Lake Front.
The Lake View Hotel owner, 75 -year -old Rick Nevil, where snow mobillers planned to drink the premises on Saturday night, said the incident had surprised the community.
“People from all over the world come to the institution to speak or perform,” he said. “I don’t remember anything like being before. There was never any security, so it was just one free. He shook everyone, people were stunned, and were more careful.
Rebecca Maginson, the owner of a cafe and a worker against domestic abuse, said that Chotocans had no reason to worry about security, but after the incident, “everything changed a bit.”
For the wrong reasons, he had to know Rushdie well in the area, and many said that he had read the knife, his published account about the attack and his recovery.
As soon as the attack came to light, Rushdie remembered his thoughts: “Of course, the world had gone ahead, and the topic was closed. Still, here, I had a fast, a kind of traveler, who past. One killer was a ghost.
In the case against Matar, the prosecution has said that the judges are unlikely to hear about the fatwa because they will not have to show the purpose to convict them on state charges.
“From my point of view, this is a local event. This is a stabbing event. It is quite straightforward,” said Jason Schmidt, Chotuka County. “I really don’t need to go into the proof of purpose.”
But Matar’s defense lawyer, Netheneel overseas, said that the trial should be shown for prejudice.
Sitting at the Mac Service, Leakside Hotel Bar, said he had read Rushdie’s land under his feet and knife. “Rushdie celebrated hate love. He had a choice to choose, and he took a high road. “I hope this person will get justice.”
It is regrettable that the incident took place in a peaceful area and in a institution of arts, based on intellectual, spiritual and religious tolerance, a county employee service said.
“It was annoying me what happened. When the fatwa was released, Rushdie was not hiding in any cave, and he has always been in the literary world. I never read this kind of modern literature. Open new doors for me.
