Hadi Matar, 28, declined to take the stand and called no witnesses on Tuesday in his federal terrorism trial related to the 2022 stabbing attack on author Salman Rushdie 1. Prosecutors allege that Matar launched the attack in response to a 1989 religious decree issued by Iran's late supreme leader against Rushdie's novel "The Satanic Verses" 1. During the incident at a cultural institution in Chautauqua, New York, Rushdie was stabbed 15 times and lost sight in one eye 1. The trial is expected to conclude with closing arguments on Wednesday 1.
Matar faces severe consequences across multiple legal proceedings. He has already been convicted on state charges of attempted murder and is serving a 25-year prison sentence 1. If convicted in the federal case, he could face life imprisonment 1. According to prosecutors, Matar had been researching Rushdie's whereabouts since 2020 1.
