flag Uzbekistan bans unauthorized photography, requiring consent and risking fines or confiscation.

flag Uzbekistan's parliament approved a law banning photography and filming of people without consent, effective after ceremonial senate approval, requiring verbal or written permission and imposing fines up to $1,364 and equipment confiscation. flag The law aims to protect privacy, especially for children under 16, who need parental consent. flag Critics worry it could suppress journalists and activists, while uncertainty remains over enforcement, particularly in public spaces or with incidental figures. flag The law’s impact on tourism and civil liberties is unclear, with some doubting strict implementation given Uzbekistan’s history of selective law enforcement.
