2012 part III

Our collection of the best photojournalism of 2012 concludes with a look at the months of September, October, November, and December. While hurricane Sandy devastated the American northeast coast, numerous powerful typhoons wreaked havoc on several Asian nations. The battle for Syria further devolved into a bloody abyss as the conflict dragged on well into its second year. Protests against austerity measures roiled Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy and other European countries, China picked a new leader during their once-a-decade power transition, and a new burst of violence scarred relations between Israelis and Palestinians. Through it all, the ordinary lives of people in our multifaceted cultures shined bright. [Editor's note: The Big Picture will not publish during the week beginning December 23. We will return on December 31.]-- Lane Turner (43 photos total)
A child jumps on the waste products used to make poultry feed as she plays in a tannery at Hazaribagh in Dhaka, Bangladesh on October 9, 2012. Luxury leather goods sold across the world are produced in a slum area of Bangladesh's capital where workers, including children, are exposed to hazardous chemicals and often injured in horrific accidents. None of the tanneries packed into the Hazaribagh neighborhood treat their waste water, which contains animal flesh, sulphuric acid, chromium and lead, leaving it to spew into open gutters and eventually the city's main river.

Shackled inmates accused of murders sit in their cell in Rumbek Central Prison in Rumbek, South Sudan on October 24, 2012. Built in 1948 by the British colonial government, Rumbek Central Prison houses some 600 prisoners who live in overcrowded cells with virtually no access to the basic health care, sanitation, or adequate food and nutrition. Arbitrary detention is rife in South Sudan, says a 2012 report by Human Rights Watch, which also states that access to legal aid is just one of several human rights laws being broken at the prisons in South Sudan, which 'clearly do not comply with international or domestic law and standards on prisoners' welfare'.
