Lawyers attack journalists in Kerala

KOCHI: A group of advocates allegedly attacked media persons outside the Kerala High Court, leaving two people injured. The lawyers reportedly shouted abuses at them and threatened them saying they won't allow the journalists to cover the court proceedings. While a section of them even locked down the media room, two cameramen of news channels were injured in the scuffle. The journalists union alleged that the advocates began protesting violently against the media after they were provoked by the coverage of an alleged attempt by a government pleader to molest a woman last week.
