Six people have been prosecuted for photographing conscripts at a regiment in Skåne in August, Dagens Nyheter reports.

The defendants must be parents and siblings of the conscripts. They were there in connection with the year’s third and final deployment to soldier training.

The six people have been prosecuted for suspected illegal depiction of protected objects and risk fines of up to just over SEK 20,000, according to DN.

The prosecution is due to the fact that before the incident, the regiment had recurring problems with private individuals who photographed the facility, despite the fact that it is classified as a protected object and may not be photographed.
