Totally ridiculous. Of course if they did not want negative publicity they have a strange way going about achieving it. Where almost no one would have known about the photographer or her photos, now the 'whole world' does, plus they're painting a negative view of their country with regard to liberty and human rights.
Gotta appreciate someone who can shoot themselves in the foot like that. Maybe he'll destroy his own career in the end.
