据联邦检察官发言人表示,纽约州布法罗的美国地区法院陪审团仅经过两小时评议就作出了全部罪名成立的裁决,这场从上周二开启的审判就此落幕。

现年79岁的鲁西迪自1988年其小说《撒旦诗篇》出版以来,一直面临生命威胁。时任伊朗最高领袖阿亚图拉·鲁霍拉·霍梅尼谴责该书亵渎神明,并呼吁处死鲁西迪,这一法令被称为法特瓦(宗教裁决令)。

根据庭审中出示的证据,马塔尔花了一年多时间研究这项宗教裁决令,随后决定在纽约州梅维尔斯的肖托夸学院发表演讲时袭击鲁西迪,以此执行该法令。

鲁西迪头部、颈部、躯干和左手多处被刀刺伤,右眼失明,内脏受损,需要接受紧急手术并休养数月。

来自新泽西州费尔维尤的美国公民马塔尔于2025年在纽约州法院被判谋杀未遂罪名成立,被判处25年监禁。

他此次因联邦恐怖主义指控被定罪,最高可判处终身监禁。量刑听证会定于11月3日举行。

July 29 (Reuters) – The man who stabbed and partially blinded author Salman Rushdie on stage at a New York arts institute in 2022 ​was found guilty on Wednesday of federal terrorism charges stemming ‌from the attack.

Hadi Matar, 28, was convicted of attempting to provide material support to Lebanon’s Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, as well ​as engaging in transnational terrorism and providing material support to ​terrorists.

A U.S. District Court jury in Buffalo, New York, ⁠returned its guilty verdict on all charges after deliberations of just ​two hours, capping a trial that began last Tuesday, according to ​a spokesperson for federal prosecutors.

Rushdie, 79, had faced threats on his life since the 1988 publication of his novel “The Satanic Verses.” Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, then Iran’s ​supreme leader, denounced the book as blasphemous, leading to a ​call for Rushdie’s death, an edict known as a fatwa.

According to evidence presented at ‌his ⁠trial, Matar spent more than a year researching the fatwa before deciding to try fulfilling the edict with an attack on Rushdie while the author was speaking at the Chautauqua Institution in Mayville, ​New York.

Rushdie was ​stabbed with ⁠a knife multiple times in the head, neck, torso and left hand, blinding his right eye and ​damaging internal organs, requiring emergency surgery and months of ​recovery.

Matar, ⁠a U.S. citizen from Fairview, New Jersey, was found guilty of attempted murder in New York state court in 2025, and was sentenced ⁠to 25 ​years in prison.

His conviction on federal ​terrorism charges carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. Sentencing was scheduled for ​November 3.
