Iran Press/ Iran News: Nasser Kanaani, the spokesman for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on his Twitter account, expressed his dismay regarding the desecration of the Holy Quran on July 23. He compared this act of disrespect and the "Dark Ages" practice of burning books.
On June 28, 2023, Salwan Momika, an Iraqi immigrant residing in Sweden, burned a copy of the Holy Quran during the Islamic Eid al-Adha festival outside Stockholm's central mosque.
The Swedish police had granted a permit for the demonstration after a Swedish court ruling that allowed it on the grounds of freedom of expression.
