Sam Husseini says he was held in ‘dungeon’ after trying to engage US leader on policies
,, “I wasn’t trying to make a point. I was trying to get a question in,” Husseini said during an interview at a cafe overlooking the Gulf of Finland on Tuesday. “I wanted to engage him on nuclear policy.”
It isn’t clear who tipped off the authorities about Husseini’s sign, which he had sketched out with a magic marker and finished off at the White House press centre.
.. “I thought they could say ‘no, no, we don’t allow that, we have to take the sign away,’” Husseini said. “Instead, they jumped at me, my glasses get thrown to the ground and they pulled me out without any discussion.”
