The best selling writer has been threatened to be killed since 1989.
Iran has raised the reward for execution of British Indian writer Salman Rushdie up to $3 300 000. The author has been living in fear to be assassinated since 1988, when he published his The Satanic Verses. The Muslim community accused him of blasphemy and Iranian Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued fatwa calling to kill the writer in 1989.
Iranian mass media link the reward decision with the violent protest against the film Innocence of Muslims.
Salman Rushdie says in an interview with BBC that his 1988 book “would be difficult to be publish” as it had criticism of Islam because of a climate of “fear and nervousness”.
Salman Rushdie is the winner of the Booker Prize in 1981. In June 2007, Queen Elizabeth II dubbed himKnight Bachelor for his services to literature.
