An angry protestor returns an exploding tear-gas shell thrown by the police to disperse a protest rally demanding removal of an election commissioner in Dhaka, May 2006. On a regular assignment for the European Pressphoto Agency (EPA), Abir was on a third-floor veranda observing brick-throwing protestors when policemen started using tear-gas and hot water canon. A tear shell landed in front of a young man, he hesitated and then, after a few seconds, threw it back at the police. Abir say he was shooting in continuous mode so captured a good moment.
