This media file has been nominated for deletion since 26 July 2025.
To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.

Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.

Reason for the nomination:
Significant doubt on the public domain status of photos produced by the Syrian govt was raised by me and others at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#Syrian_Govt_Photos. I believe the conclusion reached at a previous discussion (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ahmed al-Sharaa and Mazloum Abdi.jpg) is wrong, because I believe photographs do not fall under the category of "official document" or "daily news". The relevant law only gives examples of legal literature and "daily news" only includes basic facts of current events, not photographic works.
