Follow-up – Al-Rashid
After sparking a wave of anger last year by burning copies of the Qur’an, Iraqi refugee in Sweden Silwan Mumika announced that he had left the country for Norway after his residency permit was cancelled.
Mumika said, “He arrived in Norway, where he wants to seek asylum.”
As he explained in a letter: “I left Sweden because of persecution from government institutions.”
Burning copies of the Qur’an sparked protests and condemnations in many Islamic countries.
The Swedish Migration Agency canceled Mumika’s residence permit last October, citing false information in his initial application, but granted him a temporary permit because it was unable to return him to Iraq.
