A video capturing the incident reveals the woman swiftly advancing towards Salwan Momika, the instigator of the provocation, and releasing a cloud of white powder in his direction. However, plainclothes police officers swiftly intervened, escorting the woman away from the scene. Despite the disturbance, Momika, seemingly taken aback but physically unharmed, promptly resumed his ugly action, which had been granted official approval by local authorities.

Towe Hagg, the spokesperson for the police, disclosed that the woman's identity remains undisclosed by official sources. However, she was apprehended on the grounds of suspected disruption of public order and committing violence against a police officer.

Originally a refugee from Iraq, Salwan Momika has been at the center of a series of anti-Islam provocations that entail the desecration of the Quran. These provocative actions have incited strong backlash in several Muslim nations. Despite the contentious nature of his demonstrations, Swedish authorities have allowed them to proceed under the pretext of freedom of speech. Nonetheless, preliminary charges related to hate speech have been lodged against Momika, with an ongoing inquiry into whether his actions conform to Sweden's hate speech laws.

The Quran-burning incidents have ignited fervent protests across numerous Muslim countries. (ILKHA)
