National Press Club Reverses Suspension Of Journalist Who Aggressively Questioned Saudi Royal | Earlier this month, the National Press Club suspended journalist Sam Husseini for two weeks after he engaged in aggressive questioning of Prince Turki al-Faisal al-Sa’ud of Saudi Arabia, criticizing his country’s human rights record. Following an outcry in the media, the Press Club has decided to lift the suspension. “I welcome this decision and aim to ask ever tougher and sharper questions. I hope others will as well,” wrote Husseini in response to the lifting of his suspension. “I had asked the Saudi ambassador about the legitimacy of his regime, but if tough questions are not welcome at the Press Club, or at other media institutions, then their legitimacy is also undermined.”
