The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Jassim Muhammad Al-Budaiwi, expressed his strong condemnation and denunciation of the continued provocations against the feelings of Muslims and the desecration of another copy of the Qur'an in the Swedish capital, Stockholm.

The Saudi Press Agency, "SPA", stated that Al-Budaiwi stressed that these disgraceful and unacceptable acts provoke the feelings of Muslims all over the world.

He stated that the Swedish authorities must take immediate and serious action to stop these actions and hold extremists accountable, stressing that these heinous and inciting acts, which are contrary to the principles of tolerance and freedom of religion, indicate hatred, and extremism.

The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council referred to the emergency session of the Human Rights Council that was held last week, and the decision issued by it to condemn acts of religious hatred, which also condemned the previous incident of burning the Holy Qur’an in Sweden, where he called for the necessity of activating it and the solidarity of all countries and international organizations and their action to prevent these irresponsible acts and address them by all legal means, in accordance with international laws, treaties and norms that protect and preserve religions.

On Thursday, Silwan Momica, again, tore up the Holy Quran, the Iraqi flag, and pictures of prominent religious figures, including the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, and the Iranian guide, Ali Khamenei, in front of the Iraqi Embassy in Stockholm./ End
