"Disgusting abuse of public trust" - How does one say that in French?

The exhibition includes museum-worthy snaps
like the one above, cleverly entitled Untitled (Death 37)
It was evidently taken at the 
Balata "refugee camp" in February 2012

When you next hear European politicians, and particularly the French, declaring their total and absolute opposition to terrorism, bear in mind this little story emanating from Paris.

An exhibition entitled “Death” (on the web here) and made up of 68 photographs created by one Ahlam Shibli, opened at the Jeu de Paume Museum of Contemporary Art in Paris on May 28.
