A man who repeatedly burned the Koran in Sweden in 2023, causing outrage in Muslim countries, has been shot dead, according to media reports on Thursday. Police confirmed that a man was killed in a shooting the previous day.
Salwan Momika, a Christian Iraqi known for burning Korans at multiple protests, was due to receive a court ruling in Stockholm on Thursday on charges of inciting ethnic hatred.
However, the court postponed the decision, stating that “one of the defendants has died.”
