Authors Apologise for [Lies About] Rushdie

Salman Rushdie received an apology in the high court this morning for lies in a book about his time under police protection.

Ron Evans, a former police officer who was part of the team protecting Rushdie while he was under a fatwa, made an apology through his solicitor on 11 counts of falsehoods in his book On Her Majesty’s Service. Publisher John Blake also apologised.
