Photographer Appalled by Senator’s Misuse of Afghan Policewoman Photo for ‘Ban the Burka’ Campaign
Having one of your photos used by an Australian senator without permission would probably upset you as is, but what if that photo was used in a way that you believed "desecrated" the memory of the subject in the picture?
That's the situation Canadian photographer Lana Slezic recently found herself in when she saw her photo of Lt Col Malalai Kakar -- Afghanistan's first female policewoman who was killed by the Taliban in 2008 -- being used by Senator Jacqui Lambie to push a "Ban the Burka" campaign.
