Men From Brass Protest His Photos Carry Children Into Cigarettes

Kuningan - Cigarette producers in Indonesia in recent years changed the face of their packaging, in accordance with government regulations. There is something creepy because it is accompanied by pictures of diseases caused by smoking, some are in the form of warnings.

One of them is a photo of a person who is smoking cigarettes while carrying a baby. In the photo accompanied by a description of "smoking near the child is dangerous for them". Dadang Mulya (42), a resident of Kuningan, West Java, claimed to be a model in the photo of the advertisement. But that was without his knowledge.

Feeling aggrieved, Dadang appointed legal counsel to accompany him. One of his legal counsel, Dudung Hidayat said until now his side still collected data in advance regarding the Dadang recognition.

"I have not talked so much with Pak Dadang. Just this morning I received a decree, there were four attorneys who accompanied Pak Dadang. We are still coordinating with Pak Dadang," said Dudung when contacted via telephone, Tuesday (24/7/2018) .

Dudung insists his side will take legal steps if the data collected confirms that the photo is a client. "If it is suspected that there are legal irregularities by cigarette or government product, we will do legal process," he said.

Dudung said that Dadang felt he had never given permission to cigarette producers or the government to put up his photo. According to Dudung, this clearly violates copyright laws.

"Installing an image without the permission of the person in question violates the law. As for the future, we will see whether there is a criminal or civil element. We collect information first so as not to arbitrarily determine an attitude," said Dudung.

According to Dadang's statement, said Dudung, a photo of Dadang who was smoking cigarettes while carrying a toddler was taken about six years ago. Precisely in the field District Pancalang.

"Said Mr. Dadang, at that time someone photographed him six years ago. The location was in the field near his house, near the sub-district office," said Dudung.
