Sweden: More Unrest Over Koran Burning

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It appears that the unrest in the Swedish town of  Örebro in response to a planned anti-Islam rally by Danish activist and politician, Rasmus Paludan, is on-going as I write. This follows similar unrest over the past 24 hours in three other Swedish towns. The below article by SVT (Swedish State TV) is translated by Fousesquawk. It contains two videos.

Unrest before a demonstration in Örebro

Updated today 10:09. Posted today 08:27

It is messy right now in central Örebro leading into the Danish right-wing extremist Rasmus Paludan’s demonstration in the Svea Park-where rocks and fireworks have been thrown at police at the scene. Four police officers and a civilian are reportedly injured during the evening’s unrest, according to police.

Even before the Danish politician arrived, unrest began at the scene. Tiles were thrown at police and fireworks were fired at the entrance to the park. People also tried to get through the barricades that were set up. Police are now working to try and turn back the counter-demonstrators.

Four police officers have been injured at the scene-one of them took a rock to the head, another three reportedly have light injuries. A civilian has also been hit in the head with a rock, police press spokesperson Diana Qudhaib says.

At 6:30, it is really messy, according to SVT’s reporter at the scene-a a picture shared by Örebro police.

“The situation is troubling right now. The general rally has not been able to start since the situation is not calm enough for that,” says Diana Qudhaib.

The demonstration was supposed to be held at 17:00. According to police, there are an estimated 200 people at the scene just before 18:00- but exactly how many is hard to say.

Messy at earlier demonstration

Rasmus Paludan leads the Danish Stram Kurs party. He has made himself known by provoking, through the burning of Korans and showing images of the Prophet Muhammad. On Friday afternoon, police announced that they had changed the location of the party’s demonstration, which instead now is being held in central Örebro

Several demonstrations were planned in Sweden during the week. One of them was held in Stockholm Friday-which also became messy after a Koran was burned.

The party was also supposed to hold a demonstration in Linköping on Holy Thursday, but it didn’t happen. Instead, a violent riot broke out, and three police officers were taken to the hospital. Also in Norrköping, there was unrest though no demonstration was held because the police withdrew permission.

“Obviously, we have dialogue with other regions as to earlier experiences. Our goal is that it will be carried out in a safe manner, considering that there is a constitutionally-protected right to manifest their views,” said Christiana Hallin, police press officer in the Bergslagen region, earlier during the day.
