Rally planned in Stockholm against Quran desecration

A rally will be held in the Swedish capital of Stockholm tomorrow in protest at the Quran desecrations in the country.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A rally will be held in the Swedish capital of Stockholm tomorrow in protest at the Quran desecrations in the country.

The Islamic unions of Sweden have invited Muslims and those who love the Quran to take part in the rally.

It will start at 13:30 local time Sunday at Medborgarplatsen Square in Stockholm, the Imam Ali (AS) Islamic Center announced.

On June 29, a 37-year-old individual named Salwan Momika burned pages of the Quran outside a mosque in Stockholm on the first day of Eid al-Adha.

The Swedish police had earlier given permission for the act of sacrilege.

The act sparked widespread outrage among Muslims worldwide and drew condemnation from different countries.

Pope Francis, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the European Union, and the Swedish government also strongly condemned the incident.
