AFP WIN HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD FOR ACID ATTACK COVERAGE
AFP photographers win Asian Human Rights Awards
Bangkok-based photographer Nicolas Asfouri won the top features prize at the 14th annual awards, announced at a ceremony at Hong Kong’s Foreign Correspondents Club, for work on assignment in Pakistan.
The head of the judging panel, former Time magazine chief Asia photographer Robin Moyer, said Asfouri’s photographs of a lady disfigured in an acid attack were almost impossible to look at but extraordinarily powerful. Asfouri was also commended for a feature on child labor in Pakistan.
