Swedish police\u00a0 arrested two people and detained around 10 people after a violent riot broke out at a protest involving a burning of the Holy Quran, police said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The protest was organised by Iraqi refugee Salwan Momika, whose protests — which have included public desecrations of the holy book — have sparked outrage across the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s protest was held in a square in the southern city of Malmo, which has a large immigrant population, and according to public broadcaster SVT around 200 people had showed up to watch.<\/p>\n

“Some onlookers have shown upset feelings, after the organiser burned writings,” police said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“The mood was at times heated,” the statement said, adding that a “violent riot” occurred at 1:45 pm (1145 GMT).<\/p>\n

According to police, the event had ended after the organiser left but a group of people remained at the scene.<\/p>\n

About 10 people were detained for disturbing the public order and another two were arrested, suspected of violent rioting.<\/p>\n

Local media reported that some onlookers threw rocks at Momika, and video from the scene showed some trying to break through the cordon before being stopped by police.<\/p>\n

In another video a man could be scene trying to stop the police car that transported Momika from the location by getting in front of it.<\/p>\n

Through a series of demonstrations, Momika has sparked anger directed at Sweden and diplomatic tensions between Sweden and several Middle Eastern countries.<\/p>\n

The Swedish government has condemned the desecrations of the Holy Quran while noting the country’s constitutionally protected freedom of speech and assembly laws.<\/p>\n

Iraqi protesters stormed the Swedish embassy in Baghdad twice in July, starting fires within the compound on the second occasion.<\/p>\n

Swedish envoys have also been summoned in a slew of Middle Eastern nations.<\/p>\n

In mid-August, Sweden’s intelligence agency heightened its terror alert level to four on a scale of five, noting that Sweden had “gone from being considered a legitimate target for terrorist attacks to being considered a prioritised target.”<\/p>\n

Sweden also decided to beef up border controls in early August.<\/p>\n

In late August, neighbouring Denmark — which has also seen a string of public desecrations of the Holy Quran — said it plans to ban Holy Quran burnings.<\/p>\n

Sweden has meanwhile vowed to explore legal means of stopping protests involving the burning of texts in certain circumstances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
