The Kuwaiti authorities had banned the public use of SLR cameras. Intent can be shown to journalists in November, the country's streets and shopping centers such machines to photograph. (A week later, the Kuwait Times reported that it has refuted the news fénkyépezőgép prohibition. More )
It is likely that the image here ( SnapR image from Flickr ) would be able to not be ready. The news before many people are perplexed, infuriate many people. Many people report this, so I think the story is more interesting background, I tend to concentrate on this.
The news source
The typical single source, according to some not very reliable Kuwait Time proceed traceable news spread like wildfire on the Internet. The indignant bloggers and the major Western-oriented pages ( Guardian , Gizmodo , Thinq , PetaPixel ) line can be taken over by another and the common source of news, you can talk of Chase Jarvis' blog.
Today is superficial (two sentences) served with the Spottr , slightly more than this to Pixinfo also dealt with the news of the Prim.hu even produced their own ideology to be, what motivated the creation of law létezésű unproven. The great Hungarian news websites is only one of the Origo wrote the story of an English page, and can also be an indication that the MTI has not put off anything.
Uncertain background
I read quite a few places along the news is not new information that no one had read the news. The photo is from page only so many "professional" performance ran, wondering chances to engage in assumptions. Some states that the prohibition only DSLR on the subject and looking exactly the same way, but it is not possible with digital SLR photography. And that is very similar, but mirror-less machines are the exception from the scope of the law. There are papers that jokingly suggests that Kuwait will soon want to report 4/3-os camera production, and therefore prohibits the streets of the competition.
The Guardian is meant to add sztorrihoz, often referred to an attorney, on Monday the arrest of bloggers, and the press freedom organization Reporters Without Borders ranked mentions in the press referring to the work of governing. Apparently, however, the contents of the law in question, or even existence they were not followed. The press freedom organization referenced website , however, interestingly, so far does not even mention the new law - it is true that the news does not even try to scroll a barrier in front of the press work.
Ratification - missing
It seems that no one really went after the story is a fundamental principle of professional and credible foundation for double-checking sources ). Only one card is found, without a doubt that the rumor is spreading rather than trying to get extra information. Only Amateur Photographer raises that maybe it would be worthwhile to learn the exact text. Unfortunately, in attempting to do so has not been successful. However, among the different pages and Comments of the increasing number of references to the hoax story (ie duck, scam, scam, hoax) can be.
What is certain
The Kuwait Times as a fact pointed out that such a law was born, but everyone was referring to distribute them. The Amateur Photographer trying to get confirmation from the relevant official bodies, as I was by the Hungarian Foreign bodies, but so far there is no formal feedback on the matter. The British Foreign Office spokeswoman for the time being you said the page to find out the news and the British authorities in the Middle East countries, travelers tanálcsai not yet been changed to photography on: "No government, military, and industrial photography, particularly olajmezőké."
The Hungarian Press Külügyminisztérum Department was unable to provide information on the substantive matter, the new rules they can not, but they can not refute. The Hungarian Embassy in Kuwait and the Kuwaiti embassy in Budapest, did not respond to a request. The website of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kuwait in the following tips for travelers: "One peculiarity is that a lot of inconvenience may arise from the kamerázásból, fényképezésből. This is primarily religious, and secondly security reasons. It is useful to the minimum necessary to limit such activity, and each time before shooting to make sure you ask the question (in the picture you want to include) the person / s, and the authorities for permission. "
Addendum: One week after the initial communication of news in the Kuwait Times published a rectification, which declare that the information were not followed properly, and so false news reported. Kuwait does not have any new statutory limitations on the camera haszálatra. So far, of course, still remain valid. Read more about it Nothing is true of Kuwait ban photographers .
