When is a human rights activist not a human rights activist? On Thursday, February 21st, Yahoo posted a picture of Pakistani protestors burning a Danish flag at a rally decrying republication of the Muhammad cartoons. The protestors were labeled by the AP as "human rights activists."

Except... They weren't human rights activists. A corrected caption was sent out over the weekend that also corrected the date typo shown above:

Now, if only we could find some trace of the Al Fareed Welfare Society. No information is available on the internet, but Gujaranwala (usually spelled Gujranwala) is a Pakistani university town located outside of Lahore. That's something at least.
