Original Note:
SE gov doesn’t support the burning of Qurans. PM Kristersson even condemned it, but explained that he can’t prohibit it, as it is protected under domestic laws on freedom of expression. Police can only refuse permits where there is an imminent and grave public danger. https://twitter.com/SwedishPM/status/1616927938368229376?s=20 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/29/world/middleeast/quran-burning-stockholm-sweden.html https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/8/1/sweden-rules-out-sweeping-changes-to-free-speech-law-amid-quran-burnings https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/27/swedish-pm-extremely-worried-about-quran-burning-protests
