Taslima Nasrin ble angrepet under en bok-presentasjon i det sørlige India torsdag. En gruppe muslimer anført av tre parlamentarikere gikk løs på forsamlingen og Nasrin særskilt.

HYDERABAD, India: Angry Muslim protesters led by three local lawmakers attacked controversial exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasrin on Thursday while she was attending the release of her book in southern India and told her to go back to her country.

Nasrin escaped unhurt as the organizers pushed back about 100 protesters, including the three lawmakers, in Hyderabad. In the melee, one of the protesters slapped her, according to witnesses.

The protesters, belonging to the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, a political party in Andhra Pradesh state, burst into the local Press Club shouting slogans describing Nasrin as «anti-Muslim» and «anti-Islam.»

They ransacked the venue, throwing chairs in the air and overturning the tables.

Nasrin fled Bangladesh in 1994 when Islamic extremists threatened to kill her after an Indian newspaper quoted her as saying changes must be made to the Islamic holy book, the Quran, to give women more rights.

In 2004, the Bangladeshi government banned her Bengali-language book «Shei Shab Andhakar» («Those Dark Days») for what it said were objectionable comments about Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.
