A New York court on Friday handed a 25-year sentence to Hadi Matar, an American-Lebanese man who stabbed novelist Salman Rushdie at a cultural event in New York in 2022. Matar, 27, was convicted of attempted murder and assault after attacking Rushdie, leaving him permanently blinded in one eye. Matar also faces federal terrorism charges, which could result in a life sentence.
