Photographers continue to fight for their rights and go to court by filing a lawsuit with the State Council request to cancel ministerial decisions taken, claiming it “affects them professionally.”
The decision to give the competent authorities (police departments) the opportunity to photograph citizens who come to apply for a new identity card, according to professional photographers who have studios, “violates their rights” and deprives them of work.

As the Union of Professionals said in a statement, this “will significantly burden the (already insufficient) staff of police departments. The decree will forcibly take away an important part of the work of professional photographers. Some studios will have to close down. We are doomed to unemployment.”
