Bali rally against anti-pornography bill
Updated
Thousands of Balinese in traditional outfits have rallied in the island's capital Denpasar against an anti-pornography bill which they say threatens local cultures.
More than 5,000 protesters occupied the lawn of the local parliament on the mostly Hindu island to oppose the bill, which is under deliberation by mostly Muslim lawmakers in the capital Jakarta.
The bill, criminalises all public acts and material capable of raising sexual desires or violating so called community morality.
Protesters denounced the proposed law as too broad and a threat to local customs on the island, and the tourist beach culture.
Demonstrators wore traditional clothes including semi-translucent temple blouses, saying these could be deemed too suggestive if the law is passed.
