Professional contemporary issues category winner, and L’Iris d’Or photographer of the year. Fire of Hatred, by Asgar Khamseh, Iran. Mohsen Mortazavi is a 34-year-old resident of Tehran. On the first day of work in 2012, his co-worker welcomed him with three litres of sulphuric acid, and after that knifed him 16 times in revenge for making prank calls – although he wasn’t responsible. Mohsen lost his right eye, skin on his head, and right eardrum. He still requires further surgery. (Photo by Asghar Khamseh)
