New Delhi (CNN) Africans living in northern India are locking themselves indoors in terror after a spate of mob attacks left several hospitalized. Multiple attacks on Kenyan and Nigerian students have been reported this week in Greater Noida, 18 miles southeast of the capital New Delhi. Following their arrest, African students gathered to peacefully demonstrate for their release, said Ezeugo Nnamdi Lawrence, university coordinator with the Association of African Students in India (AASI). Ezeugo's organization is attempting to deliver food and other supplies to African students unable to leave their homes. African students say they routinely face discrimination in India and sometimes even violence.
