A man has been convicted of federal terrorism charges in the 2022 stabbing of author Salman Rushdie. A jury delivered its verdict Wednesday in Buffalo, New York. Jurors found Hadi Matar guilty of all the charges against him, including engaging in an act of transnational terrorism. The 28-year-old had pleaded not guilty. Matar already is serving a 25-year New York state prison sentence on an attempted murder conviction in the August 2022 attack. Rushdie has faced a decades-old death threat over his novel “The Satanic Verses.”
Russia’s main domestic security agency says the founder of the messaging app Telegram has been charged with aiding terrorism and put on an international wanted list.

The charges against Pavel Durov come as Russia restricts Telegram, one of the most popular messaging apps in the country. Durov earlier this year said the Russian authorities opened a criminal investigation against him and accused them of fabricating pretexts to restrict access to Telegram.

Ali Darwich, a gay Muslim police officer, feels the attack was not only directed against the LGBTQ+ community but also against everything Berlin stands for: diversity, tolerance and freedom.
