Author Salman Rushdie was brutally attacked on Friday night while he was on a stage to deliver a lecture in New York. The attacker identified as Hadi Mattar is believed to be a supporter of fundamentalist forces in Iran which initiated a fatwa on the writer in 1988. The attack on the author has been comdemned by other prominent authors and has once again raised questions on the Freedom of Expression.
