An administrative court in Caen, France, faulted the Deauville city hall on Monday for removing a photograph taken in Gaza from a local festival, reported AFP and Le Monde.

The image by Associated Press photographer Jehad Alshrafi features a soccer match being played by members of the Palestinian Ahli Gaza Club on a pristine, synthetic green field, surrounded by rubble from Israeli military attacks. But in mid-August, the image was quietly taken down from an outdoor exhibition that is part of this summer’s Deauville Sport Images Festival, which celebrates the “value of sports.”
