Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique has banned people from filming accident or disaster scenes before calling in the emergency authorities to provide assistance.<\/p>\n

The move is aimed at changing the attitudes of citizens who only take photos of accidents or other emergency situations and publish them on social media.<\/p>\n

The measure is part of the new National Public Safety Service law approved in December last year and has now just taken effect.<\/p>\n

Those who do not comply must pay a fine of an amount up to a 100 times the country\u2019s minimum wage of $125.<\/p>\n

This is if an investigation proves that a person who disseminated the images was at the scene but did not inform the authorities, Leonildo Pelembe, the head of the country\u2019s fire brigade said.<\/p>\n

A person providing false information about a particular incident may also face criminal prosecution, according to the spokesman for the national criminal investigation authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, in a case where an individual appears in the media saying that the firefighters arrived late and there is no way to prove it\u201d, he explained.<\/p>\n

While the new measure is now in effect, a regulation on how it is to be implemented is being drafted \u2013 to include details of when an offence deserves minimum or maximum punishment.<\/p>\n
