Three people were killed when police in Afghanistan fired on protesters after a police station came under attack, a government spokesman said.

In Somalia, a 14-year-old boy was shot dead and several others were injured after protesters attacked the police.

Demonstrations have also been taking place in India, Thailand, Indonesia, Iran and Gaza.

Monday's deaths were thought to be the first, but officials in Lebanon have now confirmed that a demonstrator died on Sunday after jumping from the third floor of the Danish embassy in Beirut to escape a fire.
