Salman Rushdie has returned to court to testify at the terrorism trial involving the man already convicted in the stabbing attack that nearly killed him. Four years after the assault on an amphitheatre stage, the author faced his attacker in the courtroom and described the ambush to jurors.
The testimony revisits a shocking attack that drew international attention. According to the report, Rushdie told jurors for a second time about the violence of the incident, offering a direct account of what happened during the stabbing ambush.
Rushdie's injuries remain a major part of the case. He was left blind in his right eye, and his left hand was damaged in the attack, underscoring the lasting physical consequences of the assault.
His appearance at the terrorism trial places renewed focus on both the attack itself and the legal process still unfolding around it. As proceedings continue, jurors are hearing again from the victim at the center of one of the most high-profile attacks on a writer in recent years.
