A terrorist in New York who is charged with murdering eight people on a New York City bike path and injuring many more spoke out at a pretrial hearing Monday, complaining that his prosecution was moving forward while no one was held accountable for the death of Muslims worldwide.

Sayfullo Saipov, 31, remained quiet until the end of a federal court hearing meant to discuss issues relating to his upcoming trial. Then, he asked to speak.

U.S. District Judge Vernon S. Broderick advised him he probably should express himself through his lawyers and he reminded him that anything he said could be used against him.

Saipov, speaking through an interpreter, stood as he spoke, wildly gesticulating saying there were multiple occasions “when the Muslims all over the world — the wives and the kids — (were) dying under the bombs of the American government.”

He added: “And you’re judging me for the eight people killed and you’re not judging the prosecutors when the thousands and thousands of Muslims are dying all over the world.”

Broderick eventually cut off the 31-year-old, and told him a judge’s role was more like that of a “referee.”

“I recognize that you don’t recognize me, or recognize my authority,” Broderick added. “This isn’t the time or place to be making statements.”

Meanwhile, Manhattan federal prosecutor Matthew Laroche said the government plans to seek an anonymous jury to sit on the case.

Defense attorney David Patton said his team would be opposing that request.

Earlier, Saipov had pleaded not guilty through his lawyer to the latest indictment in the Oct. 31 truck attack near the World Trade Center.

A prosecutor said the Justice Department will decide by the end of the summer whether to seek the death penalty against Saipov, who lived in Paterson, New Jersey, before the attack.

Broderick has yet to rule on the issue.

Saipov’s trial is scheduled to kick off April 13, 2020.
