Salman Rushdie, the Booker Prize-winning author of “Midnight’s Children” and “The Satanic Verses,” will be presented with Liberatum’s 14th Cultural Honor at a ceremony in London on July 8.

The event simultaneously marks the international cultural diplomacy organization’s 25th anniversary.

Liberatum, founded in 2001, positions the honor as both a tribute to Rushdie’s literary legacy and a public statement on freedom of expression. The evening’s theme reflects the organization’s view that free expression is under greater threat – in more places and more ways – than at any point in recent memory.
