4 September 2023 at 07:42 Car fires and stone throwing in Malmö after Koran burning There have been around twenty car fires in the Malmö suburb of Rosengård last night. This is reported by the newspaper Aftonbladet. There have also been confrontations between the police and a group of 50 to 100 people. – There has been stone-throwing at police officers and police cars, says Tommy Bengtsson, duty officer in police region South. Four homes are without electricity as a result of the destruction, and a garage and a rubbish bin were also set on fire. The riots occur after a Koran was burned in Rosengård on Sunday afternoon. The atmosphere after the burning was intense, and there were several hundred people gathered in the area. It has not yet been confirmed that the riots and the Koran burning are related events. – It is reasonable to believe that there is a link, but it is not something we can establish yet, says Evelina Olsson, spokesperson for the police, to Aftonbladet.
