Rasmus Paludan sentenced to four months in prison for burning the Koran
Danish-Swedish far-right politician Rasmus Poludan received 4 months in prison for inciting and insulting Arabs and Africans during public events in Sweden.
Rasmus Paludan, a well-known Danish-Swedish far-right politician and leader of the Hard Line party, was sentenced by a court in Malmo to four months in prison. He was charged with incitement against an ethnic group and insulting Arabs and Africans during public events held in 2022. The Court emphasized that Paludan's actions, including the public burning of the Holy Quran, cannot be considered as criticism of religion or a political campaign. These actions were aimed at inciting hatred and discrimination, which violates Swedish laws. This verdict was the first case of conviction in Sweden for the burning of the Koran, which caused a wide resonance in society. Earlier, Poludan's actions repeatedly provoked mass protests, especially among Muslim communities. This trial was an important step in the fight against hate speech and incitement, strengthening the principles of equality and respect in Swedish society.
