Iranian top official has rebuked the latest desecration of holy Qur'an by leader of Sweden's far-right Stram Kurs (Hard Line) party calling on Swedish government to task over its support for the perpetrator.
The Monday remarks by Kazem Gharibabadi, who acts as secretary of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights, came after Rasmus Paludan, the Danish leader of Sweden’s far-right Stram Kurs (Hard Line) party, burned a copy of the Qur’an in a heavily-populated Muslim area on Saturday.
Paludan, accompanied by police, went to an open public space in the southern Swedish city of Linkoping and reportedly placed the Muslim holy book down and tried to set it on fire while ignoring protests from onlookers.
Taking to his official Twitter page, Iran’s rights official said, “Sacrilege to religious sanctities is under no circumstances whatsoever acceptable.”
