Salwan Momika

A man who sparked violent protests after burning a Quran has been shot dead in Sweden, according to local media reports.

Salwan Momika, 38, was reportedly murdered in an apartment in Södertälje, Stockholm, on Wednesday evening.

Riots erupted after Momika set fire to a copy of Islam's holy book outside Stockholm's Central Mosque in 2023.

Stockholm police said in a statement that five people had been arrested in connection with the incident.

Officers were notified of shots fired at an apartment in Hovsjö at around 11:11 p.m.

The man, whose name has not been released by police, was found with gunshot wounds and taken to hospital. The force announced he had died on Thursday morning.

Local media reported that Momika was live on social media at the time she was shot.

Momika, an Iraqi living in Sweden, was charged in August with "agitation against an ethnic group" on four counts in the summer of 2023.

The verdict, which was due to be handed down on Thursday, was postponed after it was "confirmed that one of the defendants had died", the Stockholm District Court said.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said Swedish security services were involved in the investigation because there was "clearly a risk related to foreign powers," SVT reported.

Momika led a series of anti-Islam protests, sparking outrage in many Muslim-majority countries.

Riots broke out at the Swedish embassy in Baghdad twice, and the Swedish ambassador was expelled from the city amid a diplomatic row.

Swedish police had given Momika permission for the protest in which he burned the holy book, in accordance with the country's freedom of speech laws.

The government later pledged to explore legal means to crack down on protests involving the burning of textbooks in certain circumstances.
