Indian Police Ban Protests Amid Citizenship Law Outrage

Associated Press

   NEW DELHI - Police detained several hundred protesters in some of
   India's biggest cities Thursday as they defied a ban on assembly that
   authorities imposed to stop widespread demonstrations against a new
   citizenship law that opponents say threatens the country's secular
   democracy.

   Dozens of demonstrations were planned around the country as opposition
   widened to the law, which excludes Muslims. The legislation has sparked
   anger at what many see as the Hindu nationalist-led government's push
   to bring India closer to a Hindu state.
