AT THE REQUEST OF LOCAL AUTHORS & JOURNALISTS, PART 38, "YOU ARE NEXT"--JK ROWLING RECEVES DEATH THREAT FROM SUPPORTER OF SALMAN RUSHDIES'S ALLEGED ATTACKER...AND SOME TWITTER TOO
8/13
Harry Potter creator JK Rowling has received a public threat from an Iran-backing extremist, following her denunciation of yesterday’s attack on fellow British author Salman Rushdie. Rowling – who has previously been targeted by some trans activists for her beliefs on gender – had published a post expressing her horror at the attempt on Rushdie’s life, when one responder threatened her harm. Rowling wrote on Friday night, “Horrifying news. Feeling very sick right now. Let him be ok.”
Meer Asif Aziz, described in his Twitter bio as ‘student, social activist, political activist and research activist’ responded, “Don’t worry you are next.”
Rowling today publicly asked Twitter to intervene, asking @TwitterSupport, “Any chance of some support?” but Aziz’s post currently remains in place.
