Attempt to Burn Down the Church and a Man was Beaten Up
On 28th August at night, there was a riot in Ronneby that caused a devastation in the city. Naem Sufan was beaten in the middle of the riot as he tried to prevent angry protesters from going to the Holy Cross church. The protesters tried to burn the church, but Naem Sufan extinguished the fire with his jacket. He had injuries in his shoulder and neck. Afterwards the rioters went to the city center and threw stones at the police. Riots started after a Koran burning in Malmö. This happened on the same night as a vehicle used for charitable purposes was burned.
"According to witnesses, the purpose was to light a fire on the church. The riots in Ronneby must have started as a reaction to the burning of the Koran in Malmö."
"According to Naem Sufan's testimony, the purpose was to light a fire on the church, but when that did not succeed, the people went on to the square and started throwing stones at the police instead." (translated to English from Source)
"Gunnel Alvhäll is pastor in Ronneby parish. She has also taken note of the information that people have tried to go to the Church of the Holy Cross during the riots, but has no further information about what may have happened." (translated to English from Source)
"In pictures and films that have been spread from the riot, it is possible to see a Malmö that is on fire where the police are attacked and on social media films are spread when the angry crowd chants "Allahu akbar"." (Source: Dagen)
