Iraqi refugee Salwan Momika, who was shot dead late Wednesday in Sweden, stopped international dispute with his Quran Burning.
In June 2023, a 38 -year -old man expressed displeasure with a checker past when he was filled with stomach on the Islamic Holi book and wrapped it in a bacon before burning some pages on fire, closed it and kicking it like a football Mari.
Momika, with co-porceter Salwan Najam, in an example outside the Iraq’s embassy in Stockholm, went to staging several similar protests-although he avoided burning it on that occasion.
The Swedish decision to let his performance move forward inspired Iraq to cancel the license for telecom firm Ericsson to expel the Sweden’s ambassador and work in the country.
On her protests, Momika, often squares playing sunglasses, screaming at counter-protesters, smiling in response to porn, screaming at it.
Catching the Quran, Momika admitted that he wanted to warn the Swedish society for “the danger of this book” in protest against his June 2023.
Prior to the 2018 move in Sweden, his social media account told the story of an uncertain political career in Iraq.
It consisted of links to a Christian armed group during the fight against the Islamic State Group, rivalry with influential Christian paramilitary and a brief arrest.
He joined the large -scale anti -corruption protests in the late 2019, which met with a rift by the authorities, killing more than 600 nationwide people.
Diplomatic headache
Momika originally planned to staging his stockholm opposition in February 2023, but the police refused a permit to citing security concerns.
The decision was overturned in the court, which cleared the way for his performance.
Talking to the newspaper Aftonbladet in April 2023, Momika insisted that she intended to do no problem for Sweden.
“I do not want to harm this country that attained me and preserved my dignity,” he said.
His opposition still led to a headache for the government.
His opposition to June condemned from Türkiye from all over the world, which was currently stopping Sweden’s NATO membership.
Iraqi protesters climbed the Swedish Embassy in Baghdad twice in July 2023 and started a fire inside the campus on the second occasion.
The Swedish government condemned the country’s constitutionally speech and the constitutionally preserved freedom of the assembly laws, condemning impurity.
‘big lie’
In August 2024, Momika was accused of “agitating against an ethnic group” on four occasions in summer of 2023.
The district court of Stockholm was due to his verdict in the case only after Momika was killed.
Later the same day, prosecutors abandoned the allegations.
Momika had said that she was threatened with death on her opposition, which was alive on her social media.
While Momika had police security during her protest and when attended court, her lawyer Anna Roth told news agency TT that as far as she knew he was not preserved at home.
“He knew well that there was a widespread threat to him. He had a price on his head,” Roth said.
In March 2024, Momika left Sweden to take shelter in Norway, told AFP that Sweden’s freedom of expression and protecting human rights were “a major lie”.
Norway sent him back to Sweden only after weeks.
In view of his early protests, he expressed ambitions to enter politics.
He told the newspaper EfftonBad that he was expected to run for a day for a seat in Parliament as a representative of Sweden Democrats-an anti-immigration party that carries forward the coalition government of Prime Minister Ulf Christson.
At that time Sweden Democrats said that Momika’s works did not represent the party.
