Swedish Police granted permission to one Salwan Momika to burn the Quran during a protest outside a mosque in Stockholm’s main mosque ahead of Eid-Al-Adha
In April 2022, the Prime Minister of Sweden Magdalena Andersson said on that the integration of immigrants has failed, and it has fuelled gang crimes in the Scandinavian country.
The protesters meanwhile also burnt the poster of Paludan, leader of the Danish far-right political party Hard Line, in front of the Consulate General of Sweden in Istanbul on January 22.
On Friday, Turkish officials summoned Ambassador Staffan Herrstrom to the Foreign Ministry to condemn the Quran burning protest calling it a 'hate crime’ and ‘provocation.’
A Swedish court revoked the deportation sentence of a Syrian refugee Majd Shhada, who has been convicted multiple times for offences such as rape, assault, theft and drug abuse.
