Abstract

The image of a person represents the apparent form of his soul inherent in his body, as it is a reflection of his physical and moral personality, so if any assault on it is considered an assault on the privacy of a person and his private life, and thus problems arise related to the assault on the image of the person, that is, the attack on the right to the image, and accordingly The criminal legislation criminalized the violation of the right to the photo and arranged a criminal penalty for anyone who took, registered, or transferred the personal photo and published it.The right to photograph allows a person to prevent others from drawing or photographing him in any way without explicit or implicit permission, and then he has the right to object to the publication of his image by any means. Accordingly, we will divide our discussion into two requirements. In the first, we dealt with the elements of the crime of capturing, recording or transmitting images. As for the second request, we dealt with the punishment for this crime.
