8 Die in Protests Against Citizenship Law Across India

Associated Press

   NEW DELHI - Police banned public gatherings in parts of New Delhi and
   other cities for a third day Friday and cut internet services to try to
   stop growing protests that have so far left eight people dead and more
   than 1,200 others detained.

   The protests have targeted a new citizenship law that opponents say
   threatens the secular nature of Indian democracy in favor of a Hindu
   state.

   Demonstrations are planned around India as opposition to a new law that
   provides a path to citizenship has quickly expanded from predominantly
   Muslim universities and communities to a much wider section of the
   Indian public.
