taslima nasreen attacked

Thursday, August 9, 2007 (Hyderabad)

Controversial writer Taslima Nasreen was attacked by an unruly crowd at the Hyderabad Press club on Thursday.
Three MLAs of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen or MIM were among those who attacked her. They verbally abused the writer and flung whatever they could lay their hands on at her for her alleged anti-muslim remarks.

The MLAs were detained after the incident. The Bangladesh born writer was there for the release of the telugu version of her book Sokhe at the press club when some 30 activists first raised slogans against her for alleged anti-Muslim remarks and then got rough.

''We are not bothered about our MLA status. We are Muslims first. And its our responsibility to test those who have said anything against Islam in which ever way possible,'' said Akbaruddin Owaisi, MIM MLA.

Since the 1990s, Nasreen has faced numerous threats from Islamic groups for her writings.She has been living in exile for more than ten years now.
