Police used tear gas as Delhi protesters vent anger at citizenship law

Police in New Delhi used tear gas as they stormed into the University Campus on Sunday to disperse protesters demonstrating against new citizenship laws. Students at the nearly 100-year-old Muslim university took shelter in the library as police fired tear gas canisters, according to witnesses. Several protesters were detained and Reuters witnesses say some were injured and taken to nearby hospitals and a mosque. Police said they were forced to move into the university because protesters pelted them with stones from within. They did not say how many protesters were injured, but said at least six police officers were wounded. In other parts of the city thousands of demonstrators torched vehicles and clashed with police in the fifth straight day of protests against a new law enacted on Wednesday. Authorities have ordered all schools in south east Delhi to remain closed on Monday.
