The January 1982 issue of the Foreign Student was the last newsletter that came out. The newsletter did not shy away from controversy, but the last issue was too much for some. The Foreign Student got itself in trouble with the newly elected president of the club, Fadi Kriokorian, who wanted less controversial stories published.
In protest, the whole editorial board resigned 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, threatened to take the newsletter to court for defamation if I did not publish a retraction that “had to be approved by her.”
I told her to go fly a kite and if she wanted to sue I would be more than happy to see her in court.
End of story.
