On Saturday, over 200 people protested in Stockholm to oppose Sweden’s bid to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), which also saw demonstrators burning the Quran outside the Turkish embassy.
The controversy struck after Rasmus Paludan, a far-right and anti-immigrant politician from the Stram Kurs (Hard Line) party, burned a copy of the Quran outside the Turkish embassy. In the police permit for the protest, Paludan said that he was conducting the demonstration to oppose Islam and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s attempts to contain freedom of expression in Sweden.
