Journalists around the World- Ezra Acayan

Ezra Acayan is an award-winning documentary photojournalist based in the Philippines. His recent work has focused on human rights abuse and the war on drugs taking place in the Philippines. I will not be sharing some of his work here for some may find it extremely disturbing. Through his powerful pictures, Ezra shares the suffering and violence caused by the war on drugs with the world. His picture titled The Death of Michael Nadayo helped shed a light on the suffering "Amnesty International reports that this led to human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings by both civilians and police." He is able to bring people's attention to the devastating effects of criminalizing addiction by focusing on individuals and families suffering.
