TEHRAN, Jul. 10 (MNA) – Hundreds of people in Stockholm gathered to protest against the recent Quran desecration in Sweden.

A man tore up and burned a Quran in Sweden’s capital Stockholm recently, resulting in strong condemnation from several states.

While Swedish police have rejected several recent applications for anti-Quran demonstrations, courts have over-ruled those decisions, saying they infringed on freedom of speech.
