Uzbekistan: Proposed Law Threatens Photojournalism

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is concerned about a bill passed by the Lower House of the Uzbek parliament, which would ban photographing and filming people in public without their consent.

If passed, it would restrict journalists' work in a country with widespread censorship and surveillance.

Our goal: to leave no breach of freedom of information unreported.

RSF urges the withdrawal of the proposed law to protect freedom of information.

Author's summary: RSF opposes Uzbekistan's proposed photo ban law.
