Qatar backs privacy work
The Qatar Press Center supported a graduation project by female media students at Qatar University: the “Your Privacy Is a Right” campaign, with the slogan “Ask Before You Take a Photo.” The campaign was held as part of a seminar on the limits of freedom to photograph and individuals’ rights. Participants stressed the importance of seeking permission before taking or publishing photos, weighing the public interest, concealing faces and personal information when necessary, and verifying images and their context. They also noted that consent to being photographed is separate from consent to publication or reuse. Lawyer Ali Al-Hanzab reviewed relevant Qatari legal provisions, including Article 8 of the Cybercrime Prevention Law and Article 8 bis, added by Law No. 11 of 2025, concerning the publication of images of people in public places without their knowledge or consent. A psychologist warned of the effects of such violations, including loss of trust, isolation, and sleep and appetite disorders.
