"I want to get an official response from the authorities, whether it is necessary to ask permission to photograph the mass, or not. I'm going to spend a performance with the photo shoots on the street Elias - to the point where at the beginning of the month were photographed Vitebsk journalists and activists, which then accounted for this protocol as participants of an unauthorized rally, "- says Paul Levine. - If I was told that permission to photograph is not necessary, then it is unclear why the staff of the Railway police department accused members photoshoot for participating in an unsanctioned event. And if you write that permission is required, or do not allow me to arrange a photo session for any reason - it is a real scandal. Indeed, in this case, it turns out that to be photographed in the street - this offense, and all the fans to act against the city landscape - offenders. "
