Latvians Prohibited from Publishing Photos of President and Prime Minister

Latvian media reports that citizens of the country are prohibited from publishing photos of President Edgars Rinkēvičs, Prime Minister Evika Siliņa, and other officials. According to media sources, officials were being photographed "too often" and without justification.
