Türkiye condemned the desecration of a copy of the Holy Quran in the Kingdom of Sweden yesterday, urging Sweden to take action against this type of hate crime.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry cited in a statement issued today the United Nations Human Rights Council resolution, which was adopted on July 12, 2023, following the burning of a copy of the Qur'an in Stockholm on June 28, describing the attack on the Qur'an as religious hatred.
"We expect Sweden to take deterrent measures to prevent this hate crime against Islam within the framework of its international responsibilities, especially its obligations in the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Council of Europe," the statement added.
