According to Reuters news agency, Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, issued a statement on Saturday (July 22) calling for severe punishment for those responsible for burning the Quran.
In this statement, Khamenei also asked the Swedish government to hand over the people who desecrate the Quran to Islamic countries for legal prosecution.
He also added that all Islamic scholars agree on this matter, and it is the duty of the Swedish government to hand over the perpetrators of these events to the judicial institutions of Islamic countries.
