Professor Husseini (first name unknown) is a Hanford University instructor specializing in the Middle East. He was one of Nafeesa Amir's primary allies and supporters when she moved to New York City from Afghanistan and was eager to embrace a woman's liberties in America, as he knew all too well about her family being supporters of the Taliban regime that treated women and girls like constrained possessions.
When Nafessa was found murdered in a park, Husseini was tracked. He and her friend Annette Fleming revealed she had a boyfriend, Daoud Tarzi, behind her family's backs, which was swiftly prohibited in the interest of strictly adhering her to family traditions. She was murdered in an "honor killing" by her brother Saleh Amir and her father, diplomat Jaleel Amir, hen she displeased the men in her family by breaking their standards. (SVU: "Honor")
