Salman Rushdie Attacker Sentenced to 25 Years in Prison

Imagine a writer named Salman Rushdie was giving a talk.

A man named Hadi Matar ran up on stage and stabbed him many times.

This happened because Matar believed Rushdie's writing disrespected a religion.

A judge has decided Matar must spend 25 years in jail.

Before the stabbing, the writer had to hide for many years because of threats against his life.

The attacker said he didn't agree with the writer and was upset about what he wrote.

The attacker is now going to be tried again for a different crime related to terrorism.
