The Swedish Administrative Court has ruled that banning the burning of the Quran during protests is unjustified and violates the right to demonstrate. The decision follows attempts by individuals to burn the Quran in front of the Stockholm Embassy of Iraq and the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm. Rasmus Paludan, the leader of the Danish far-right party Stram Kurs, also burned the Quran during Easter events in several Swedish cities. The demonstrations led to clashes with police and injuries to officers and demonstrators, as well as damage to police vehicles. The court stated that security concerns alone are not enough to limit the right to demonstrate.
