Miscellaneous - Daouk: Photography profession safeguarded by Constitution
Thu 23/02/2012 20:39
NNA - 23/2/2012 Information Minister Walid Daouk underlined that photography
line of work falls within public liberties guaranteed by the Constitution,
stressing that this profession should be safeguarded and highly esteemed.
Minister Daouk's words came during his sponsorship of a ceremony held by "Press
Photographers' Syndicate" on Thursday afternoon, marking "Martyr Press
Photographer Day" and the launching of a competition on environment.
The event was attended by Iraqi Embassy's Charge D'Affaires, Ahmed Mahmoud
Ghaleb, Information Ministry Director General Hassan Falha, Photographers
Syndicate Dean, Karim Hajj, and a number of concerned dignitaries.
"A photographer should be able to assume his duties across all Lebanese
territories without exception and under best conditions," Daouk said, stressing
that press liberties guarantee journalists and photographers' work wherever they
exist.
The Minister also highlighted the importance of protecting photography cameras,
stressing that no one is allowed to attack a journalist or his apparatuses
whether by security forces or others.
"We shall not allow that journalists or photographers' dignity be tampered with,
regardless of justifications or pretexts," Daouk emphasized.
On another note, Daouk saluted fallen press photographers on their day, highly
appreciating photographers' efforts to obtain valuable pictures or images whose
profound and symbolic meanings reflect more than thousand words.
Saluting martyr photographers on their anniversary, Daouk pointed out that they
sacrifice their lives in favor of their profession.
"They work to convey the real picture to all the people... and most of the times
they act as unknown soldiers," Daouk said.
Turning to the issue of choosing environment as the topic for the Syndicate's
competition, Daouk considered that a press photographer is the most competent
side of unveiling all violations or trespasses on the Lebanese environment in
all its spheres.
"A press photographer is the most courageous and truthful in exposing all these
environment violations and trespasses," Daouk deemed.
On the other hand, the ceremony included a distribution of awards on competition
winners and appreciation certificates on a number of press photographers.
