Swedish police arrests woman trying to stop Quran-burning

  • Swedish police arrests woman trying to stop Quran-burning

The police in Sweden has detained a woman after she tried to stop a repeated act of insult against the Muslim holy book of Quran in the capital Stockholm.
 

The woman was arrested outside the Iranian embassy in Stockholm on Friday after she sprayed a man with fire extinguisher in an attempt to stop him from burning a copy of the holy Quran.
 

A video of the scene of the incident showed the woman rushing up to Salwan Momika, a man of the Iraqi origin who has been present in many Quran-burning acts in Sweden in recent weeks, and sprayed him with powder.
 

Plainclothes police officers rushed to the woman and led her away from the scene, the video showed.
 

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) held an extraordinary session of the Council of Foreign Ministers on July 31, 2023, to take proper measures against the desecration of the holy Quran whose copies were repeatedly burnt in Sweden and Denmark at different times in recent weeks.
 

That comes as the acts of Quran-burning have taken place in Europe under the pretext of protecting freedom of expression while governments have offered indirect support to the perpetrators.
