The police denied several applications earlier this year for protests that were set to include burning the Koran, citing security concerns, but courts have since overturned the police’s decisions, saying such acts are protected by Sweden’s far-reaching freedom of speech laws.

Sweden’s minister of justice said on Thursday that the government is analysing the situation and whether the law needs to be changed.

“We have to ask ourselves whether the current order is good or whether there is reason to reconsider it,” Strommer told Aftonbladet.

He added that Sweden had become a “prioritized target” for attacks.

“We can see that the Koran burning last week has generated threats to our internal security,” he said.
