Swedish media announced that 38-year-old Salwan Momika, of Iraqi origin, who was known for his provocative actions like burning the Quran, was shot and killed yesterday in an apartment in Södertalje in Sweden while he was livestreaming on TikTok.
A court in Stockholm was expected to make a decision today in the case where Salwan Momika is being tried for inciting ethnic hatred.
On June 28, 2023, on the first day of Eid al-Adha, Momika burned a copy of the Quran in front of a mosque in Stockholm under police protection and was met with backlash from all over the world, especially from Muslim countries.
