Daniel Ochoa de Olza‘s emotional series of 8 images that received third place in the People, Stories category of the World Press Photo contest  (see the winners here) has been withdrawn by Associated Press, stating that the submission of the set was made in error.

The photographs in question were never distributed by the AP – our criteria for entering work in contests – because of our policy on reproducing photographs taken by others.

We sincerely regret the inconvenience our withdrawal of these eight photos has caused World Press Photo and we will take immediate steps to prevent this from happening again in any photojournalism contest. – Santiago Lyon, Associated Press vice president for photography

According to AP lawyer, Zahid Safi, that is the maximum jail sentence in the country.

Niedringhaus and Gannon were in the country covering the presidential elections of 2014 when they were attacked.
