Salwan Momika, the Iraqi immigrant who became prominent after burning a Quran in Stockholm and inciting widespread protests, was killed in a shooting. The Swedish police arrested five individuals as part of an ongoing murder investigation. Although he was set to appear in court on charges related to inciting hatred, it remains unclear if his killing is linked to his Quran burning. His actions had sparked anger among Muslim communities globally, and while condemned by Swedish authorities, they cited free speech laws as a reason for their limited response.
Mr. Momika's actions were condemned by authorities, yet they struggled with free speech laws that limited their ability to intervene or stop his inflammatory protest.
A permit for Mr. Momika's gathering was issued, but it explicitly prohibited the burning of objects, raising questions about the effectiveness of such regulations.
