Το βραβείο της χρονιάς από το world press photo, απεικονίζει
την μικρούλα από την Ονδούρα που κλαίει, καθώς αμερικανοί
αστυνομικοί κάνουν έλεγχο στην μητέρα της,
στα σύνορα με το Μεξικό...
- Honduran toddler Yanela Sanchez cries as she and her mother,
Sandra Sanchez,are taken into custody by US border officials in McAllen,
Texas, USA, on 12 June.
- Immigrant families had rafted across the Rio Grande from Mexico
and were then detained by US authorities.
Sandra Sanchez said that she and her daughter had been traveling for
a month through Central America and Mexico before reaching the US
to seek asylum. The Trump Administration had announced a ‘zero tolerance’ policy at the border under which immigrants caught entering the US could be criminally prosecuted. As a result, many apprehended parents were separated from their children, often sent to different detention facilities.
After this picture was published worldwide, US Customs and Border Protection confirmed that Yanela and her mother had not been among the thousands who had been separated by US officials.
Nevertheless, public outcry over the controversial practice resulted in President Donald Trump reversing the policy on 20 June.
