There was no respite for journalists in Kerala doing court reporting as lawyers continued to threaten them on the premises of a vigilance court in the state capital on Friday.

A group of journalists, including two women, who were at the vigilance court in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday to report the court proceedings, were threatened by some lawyers present in the court and asked to go out.

A judge in the court could not help the journalists. Some of the journalists said the lawyers shouted, “Who allowed you here? Get out”.

Stones were also pelted at the vehicles of media organisations that had been parked in the vicinity of the vigilance court.
