Highlights from the weekly AP photo report, a gallery featuring a mix of front-page photography, the odd image you might have missed and lasting moments our editors think you should see.
This week’s gallery features girls reading the Quran, Islam’s holy book, at a local madrassa, or seminary, in Karachi, Pakistan; a student protester demanding the resignation of the education minister in New Delhi, India; and a model wearing a creation for Maison Margiela’s Spring Summer 2016 Haute Couture fashion collection in Paris.
This gallery contains photos published Jan. 23 – Jan. 29, 2016.
