Cannot read paywalled article but lede photo is the lead author of the critical article

If they were peacefully handing out copies of an article, the conference runners should get their free-speech suppressing asses sued off

This kind of behavior from the government is exactly what free speech is all about. It’s blatantly illegal for the government to censor people’s speech. This isn’t a story about a person trespassing and the local government reacting — that would be like looking at a program and declaring the final operation in a sequence the only thing the program does.

Headline could be vastly improved with "for political protest during the event."
