Salwan Momika burned the Koran several times in the summer of 2023 in Sweden. His desecration sparked protests and condemnations in many Muslim countries.
The Swedish migration agency revoked Momika's residence permit in October, citing false information on his initial application. Momika: "Sweden has become a threat to me since the decision to expel me and the threat to extradite me” Sweden raised the terrorist risk alert level to four on a scale of five in August after these demonstrations abroad.
