Photos of an overcrowded jail in the Philippines – taken by photographer Noel Celis – have gone viral, but remarkably some prisoners told him they felt ‘lucky’ to be there. They say many have met with a much worse fate as the new president Rodrigo Duterte cracks down on the country’s illegal drug trade. And – in Egypt the story of a puppy trapped underneath giant rocks in the city of Alexandria for more than three weeks has touched many. How did animal rights activists use social media to finally bring about a happy ending?
