This was reported on August 14 by the newspaper Aftonbladet. “Police have detained a man in connection with a Quran-burning demonstration in Stockholm,” the statement said. According to the police, an unknown person tried to disrupt the demonstration, he ran up to the organizers of the action, Salvan Najem and Salvan Momika, and accused them of terrorism. As reported by IA Regnum, on June 28, the police of Stockholm on the Islamic holiday Eid al-Adha allowed an action with the burning of the Koran. Initially, the organizers were refused due to possible threats and terrorist attacks, but they appealed the decision in court, which sided with them. The action aroused the indignation of Islamic countries - in Baghdad, protesters broke into the territory of the Swedish embassy and demanded the expulsion of the ambassador of the kingdom from the country. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the action of burning the Koran vile and said that the enemies of Islam and humanity are trying to organize provocations under the protection of the police, but will not be able to realize their ambitions. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg considered the burning of the Koran legal and said that it was not legally illegal. On August 13, Swedish national security adviser Henrik Landerholm said that abroad, Swedes and companies associated with the kingdom should be careful because of the actions with the burning of the Koran in the country. |
