Swedish government will deport the Iraqi national who desecrated holy Qur’an, the migration office announced.

Migration Office spokesperson Jesper Tengroth said Salwan Momika's residence and working permits will expire April 16 and that his permits will not be renewed.
 
“Our decision is based on the fact that he made false statements in his applications for the permits,” he said, adding there is also a five-year entry ban on Momika.

It was reported that Momika would object to the decision and take the case to the migration court.

Salwan Momika made headlines by burning copies of holy Quran in two separate incidents outside the Turkish Embassy and a mosque in Sweden on June 21.

He made headlines a week later when he burned the Muslim holy book outside a mosque in Stockholm during Eid al-Adha -- a major Islamic religious festival celebrated by Muslims worldwide.

Global demonstrations were held to condemn the desecration of holy book of Islam.

Along with Denmark and the Netherlands, Sweden has faced wide-ranging criticism for permitting public desecration of the Quran under police protection.
