Domestic. The Migration Court of Appeal has decided not to issue leave to appeal in the case with Salwan Momika. This means that the deportation decision against the Koran burner stands – and now Momika states that he is on his way to Norway to seek asylum there instead.

The Swedish Migration Agency decided in October 2023 that Salwan Momika would be deported from Sweden. After he appealed the decision to the Migration Court, his appeal was rejected on February 7, 2024.

The Koran burner appealed this judgment to the Migration Court, which has now decided not to grant leave to appeal.

– The Migration Court's decision not to grant leave to appeal means that the Swedish Migration Agency's decision to deport Salwan Momika will take effect, says Court of Appeal judge Peder Liljeqvist in a statement.

Deportation will, however, in all likelihood not be carried out as he is considered to be at risk of persecution in his native Iraq.< /p>

Salwan Momika, however, tells Expressen himself that he is on his way from Sweden to seek asylum in Norway.

– I am on my way to Norway. Sweden only accepts terrorists who are granted asylum and given protection, while philosophers and thinkers are deported, he says.

Momika is still being investigated for incitement against ethnic groups in Sweden after several of his Koran burnings.
