The above photo was used by AFP without authorisation. We spotted it featured on The Guardian news site. You can read our initial complaint to AFP below. In a letter to Shafiur Rahman, AFP have acknowledged fault, removed the photo from their system, and at the time of writing have agreed to compensate the photographer and overhaul their engagement with Rohingya stringers.
