Salwan Najem has been convicted of incitement against a group following controversial Koran burnings in Stockholm during the summer of 2023. The court ruled that while criticism of religion is protected under free speech, Najem's actions went beyond acceptable limits.
His co-accused, Salwan Momika, was killed last week in a shooting during a TikTok livestream, leading to the dismissal of charges against him.
The case has sparked debates on the boundaries of free speech and its misuse.
Najem plans to appeal the verdict, arguing his actions were legitimate criticism of Islam.
Meanwhile, the murder of Momika remains under investigation, with suspects released due to insufficient evidence.
The events have left a lasting impact on Sweden's global reputation and domestic discourse.
