An anti-Islam activist who burnt the Koran repeatedly in protest, sparking outrage in Muslim countries, has been shot dead, SİA informs via MailOnline.
Salwam Momika, 38, was gunned down in Hovsjo district in the city of Sodertalje on Wednesday night, according to local reports.
Police confirmed this morning Momika had been killed in the brutal 'execution' and are currently investigating the murder.
A Stockholm court was due to rule on Thursday whether Momika, a Christian Iraqi who burned Korans at a slew of protest in 2023, was guilty of inciting ethnic hatred.
It postponed the ruling, saying 'one of the defendents has died.'
Momika first sparked global anger in June 2023 when he burnt a Koran outside Stockholm's main mosque with several Muslim countries condemning Sweden for allowing the Iraqi man to burn a Koran outside Stockholm's main mosque - during the Eid al-Adha holiday and the annual hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.
Dozens of Iraqi protesters stormed the Swedish embassy in Baghdad in response to Momika's stunt, with videos showing an angry mob breaking through an iron gate and climbing on top of the compound.
