The fatwa effectively carved the death threat into stone, making it impossible to erase. The day after those riots, 14 February 1989, the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a religious decree, a fatwa, calling on all Muslims to execute not just Rushdie but everyone involved in the book’s publication. There were riots in Srinagar and Kashmir. In Islamabad, six people were killed in a mob attack on the US cultural centre in the Pakistani capital to protest against the book. One Muslim-majority country after another banned the book, and in December thousands of Muslims demonstrated in Bolton, Greater Manchester, and burned a pile of the books.

I’d escaped from prison almost two years before, but the fact of the fugitive life is that you have to keep on escaping, every day and every night.And the choice you make, between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life. But in the flinch and bite of the chain, when it’s all you’ve got, that freedom is a universe of possibility. I realised, somehow, through the screaming in my mind, that even in that shackled, bloody helplessness, I was still free: free to hate the men who were torturing me, or to forgive them. It took a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured. ![]() ![]() It was widely reported, however, that Sanchez had been sanctioned for his attitude on the training ground and following a row with Wenger.

I’ve loved owls from childhood when I read a book written by my Aunt Wylly called The Ghost Next Door. Kyran recently wrote about her owl collection and asked if any of her readers had collections as well. Owls you say … stifling a small yawn perhaps. It turns out that in addition to our expat identities as women who married and moved for a love met online, we both collect owls.
