(Anadolu) The Swedish Migration Court has confirmed that an Iraqi man who staged a series of public Quran burnings last year will be deported, local media reported Wednesday.
Immigration authorities refused to extend Salwan Momika’s residence permit last October, but the order for his departure was delayed for security reasons, according to Swedish broadcaster TV4.
Momika, an Iraqi citizen, appealed the decision, but his appeal was rejected by the judges, another local broadcaster, SVT Nyhter, reported.
The ruling came after it was determined that Momika had provided false information in his application for asylum, which he denies doing, according to the broadcaster.
