may 2, 2024 - Swedish Quaran Desecration Protest

Description:

The Swedish authorities have granted permission to yet another protest involving the burning of the Quran, the Muslim holy book, Anadolu Agency reports.

Police in southern Sweden’s Malmo issued the permit for the controversial protest to take place at the city’s Gustavs Adolfs Torg public square Friday, national broadcaster, SVT Nyheter, said Thursday.

The authorities, meanwhile, were yet to decide on two more applications for similar protests this week, one in central Malmo on Saturday and another in Rosengard on Sunday, according to the broadcaster.

Quran-burning protests in Sweden have strained Stockholm’s diplomatic relations with several countries.
