I'm sure if you the journalist had looked deeper this picture was probably part of a "take pictures of everyday life" assignment. And I'm sure it's perfectly normal that all of the students pictures are posted in the halls for assessment by other students (at least that was the norm for the photography class I took in Uni).
If the woman was wearing anything but niqab, I'm sure that the picture would have been passed off as a mediocre picture of everyday life. However, put a woman in niqab and it attracts the attention of every bigot in the world.
You're always such a breath of reason Fatimah. :)
