Listen: Stabbed Sydney bishop forgives his alleged attacker in audio message
Mar Mari Emmanuel said he was "doing fine" and forgives his alleged attacker in his first statement since being stabbed. The bishop was attacked on Monday during mass at the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church.
The incident, which was live streamed, drew an angry crowd in Sydney’s southwest. Hundreds of people violently clashed with police, who were guarding the church where the alleged attacker was being held. Authorities have labelled the attack a case of religious extremism.
