Yet another wave of anti-government demonstrations paralyzed parts of Hong Kong on this Christmas Day.

Black-clad protesters descended on the streets of a busy shopping district. Riot police used tear gas to disperse crowds. Meanwhile, hundreds marched through malls chanting pro-democracy slogans. The city has been upended by more than six months of unrest against police use of force and mainland China's influence.

New protests erupted in India's capital today over a controversial new citizenship law. Students, writers and activists gathered at a college campus in New Delhi to denounce the legislation.

It grants expedited citizenship to migrants illegally in the country, excluding Muslims. Protesters accused the government of violating India's secular constitution.
