The Foreign Student experienced life across 11 editions, spanning from January 1981 to January 1982. The newsletter, which was put out by the Foreign Student Club ry of Helsinki, was outspoken on immigrant rights issues. The last issue of the newsletter below, got itself in trouble with the newly elected president of the club, Fadi Kriokorian, who wanted less controversial stories published.
In protest, Enrique Tessieri resigned as editor and that was the end of the newsletter.
The women, who allegedly changed her story and forced an Algerian law student, Adda Lahkar, to be deported from Finland, had changed her story.
During those days, foreigners did not have appeal rights against the decisions of the Aliens Office.
The woman threatened to sue me and the Foreign Student if we did not publish a retraction that “had to be approved by her.”
I told her to go fly a kite and to go ahead and sue me.
Nothing happened.
