Mob protesting entry of women in Kerala's Sabarimala temple attack journalists

Kerala's Sabarimala temple opened its doors to women of all ages this evening after much protest, violence and the final imposition of prohibitory orders that bans large gatherings. Through the day, protesters had been trying to enforce the centuries-old bar on the entry of women of reproductive age in the temple, which was scrapped by the Supreme Court last month. They combed buses, stopped women from going near the temple, attacked journalists, vandalized media vehicles and threw stones at the police.
