You've heard about this story - here is FAIR's take on it, good as
ever.<br>
<br>
From the photos in The Sun's coverage, Sam Husseini did have a sheet
of typewriter paper with a sign about nuclear disarmament on it.
That was the closest thing the Finnish security could find to charge
him with. <br>

<blockquote type="cite">[...] the press conference went on to leave

argues (<strong>The Nation</strong>, <a

powers’ monopoly on violence, rather than actually ensuring

<p>Journalist and FAIR
associate Sam Husseini went
to the Trump/Putin press
conference in Helsinki with
press credentials from <strong>The
Nation</strong> and a
couple of questions.
Specifically, he wanted to
ask both leaders why they
aren’t living up to their
commitments under the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty, and why they’re
blocking the <a
href="https://fair.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8c573daa3ad72f4a095505b58&id=fa48dff942&e=690cba8393"

moz-do-not-send="true">Treaty
for the Prohibition of
Nuclear Weapons</a>.
Further, based on the idea
that there may be no greater
threat than a weapon that is
unacknowledged, Husseini
hoped to ask Trump if he
would acknowledge the
existence of Israel’s
nuclear weapons.</p>
<p>It wasn’t so quixotic: <strong>Reuters</strong>
(<a
href="https://fair.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8c573daa3ad72f4a095505b58&id=43a3cd8f2a&e=690cba8393"

<i>had</i> just reported
Trump saying his “ultimate”
hope for the summit’s
outcome was “no more nuclear
weapons anywhere in the
world.” But, as listeners
may have heard, Husseini,
also an analyst at the <a

didn’t get to ask those
questions. Before the
conference started, Finnish
security took him out of the
room, saying someone had
told them he had a sign. He
did have a small piece of
paper, reading “Nuclear
Weapon Ban Treaty,” that he
hoped might draw Trump’s or
Putin’s attention, but he
was prepared to be told this
was against the rules and to
hand it over. As he took it
out, though, security
officers leapt on him,
knocked his glasses off, and
dragged him out of the room,
and ultimately to a
detention facility, where
they held him incommunicado
until the middle of the
night.</p>
