Warner Bros Condemns Death Threats Made Against JK Rowling_我的网站
一 | American entertainment giant Warner Bros, the distributor of the film adaptation of the Harry Potter saga, has slammed a death threat recently made online against JK Rowling, author of the books series.,Earlier, when Rowling voiced her concerns on Twitter about the health of Salman Rushdie, who was stabbed in New York last week, a Meer Asif Aziz simply tweeted to her: “Don’t worry you are next.”,Aziz identified himself on the social media platform as a “student, social activist, political activist and research activist” from Pakistan, and has previously voiced his support for Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.,In response, Warner Bros. Discovery said in a statement that they strongly condemn the threats made against Rowling, and that they “stand with her and all the authors, storytellers and creators who bravely express their creativity and opinions.”,“WBD believes in freedom of expression, peaceful discourse and supporting those who offer their views in the public arena,” the company said, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter. “Our thoughts are with Sir Salman Rushdie and his family following the senseless act of violence in New York. The company strongly condemns any form of threat, violence or intimidation when opinions, beliefs and thoughts might differ.”,Receiving death threats is unfortunately not exactly uncommon for Rowling, who has previously alleged that she was getting so many threats she could “paper the house with them.”,The said barrage of threats, which has already prompted a police investigation into the matter, ensued after the author criticized an article that used the term "people who menstruate" instead of "women," something that earned Rowling the enmity of quite a few trans activists.。 Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is seeking to fight a recent subpoena to testify in a Georgia special grand jury investigation, arguing in a new filing that he never attempted to persuade Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the state’s election results.,Graham’s testimony was supposed to relate to phone calls made to the Georgia Secretary of State during the weeks after the 2020 presidential election, according to the subpoena.,“Senator Graham did not inject himself into Georgia’s electoral process, and never tried to alter the outcome of any election,” reads the motion, as reported by Fox News. “The conversation was about absentee ballots and Georgia’s procedures.”,The filing took place on Tuesday in South Carolina, Graham’s home state.,Graham also claimed the federal judge’s subpoena cannot stand, as his conversations with Raffensperger and other state officials fell within the parameters of his official conduct as a US legislator.,“Senator Graham’s contact with Georgia officials referenced in the Certificate falls within the ‘legislative sphere’ because it was to gather information relevant to his oversight responsibilities as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and given his obligations under the Electoral Count Act of 1887,” the filing states.,Doxxing, Trump Pressure & Threats: Inside Four Days of January 6 Panel Public Hearings22 June, 12:06 GMT,Attorneys for the South Carolina senator argue the subpoena is “gross overreach” and “an abuse of power.”,Graham told Fox News he was simply trying to do his “day job.”,“If we open up county prosecutors being able to call every member of the Senate based on some investigation they think is good for the country, we're opening Pandora’s Box,” he told the outlet.,Graham Throws Backing Behind Biden's Pursuit of $6 Billion Deal to Modernize Turkey's F-16 Fleet4 July, 04:20 GMT,Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who announced the subpoena against Graham earlier this month, has also sought testimony from former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.,Raffensperger has already testified before the grand jury. Graham has been asked to deliver his testimony on August 2.。
