Salman Rushdie attacker sentenced to 25 years in prison | BBC News

A man who stabbed and partially blinded novelist Sir Salman Rushdie on a New York lecture stage has been sentenced to 25 years in prison in the US.

Hadi Matar, 27, was convicted of attempted murder and assault earlier this year.

The attack left the novelist blind in one eye, damage to his liver and a paralysed hand caused by nerve damage to his arm.

The attack came 35 years after Sir Salman's controversial novel The Satanic Verses, which had long made him the target of death threats for its portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad.
