SWEDEN-KORAN-PROTEST-CRIME

The building in Södertälje, south of Stockholm, Sweden, where the shooting of Koran burner Salwan Momika took place, is pictured on January 30, 2025. Momika, who repeatedly burnt the Koran in 2023 in Sweden, sparking outrage in Muslim countries, has been shot dead, media reported on January 30, 2025, with police confirming a man died in a shooting the day before. A Stockholm court was due to rule on January 30, 2025 whether Salwan Momika, a Christian Iraqi who burned Korans at a slew of protests, was guilty of inciting ethnic hatred. It postponed the ruling, saying "one of the defendents has died." (Photo by Jonathan NACKSTRAND / AFP) (Photo by JONATHAN NACKSTRAND/AFP via Getty Images)
