Paludan has said he wants to “mark some freedom of speech” against Turkey following the country's condemnation of an earlier action carried out last week.
The PKK organization Rojava Committees then hung a doll representing The president of Turkey outside Stockholm's city hall.
– The basic principles provide strong protection and one must assess the value of being allowed to demonstrate and freedom of expression weighs heavily and that is what has been taken into the balance, says Ola Österling, press spokesperson at the police to TT.
The Koran run will take place in connection with two other demonstrations in Stockholm, one of them is pro-Turkish and will take place at the embassy. The second demonstration is against Sweden's NATO membership and against Erdogan.
