Around 300 people were on the streets of Malmo, with violence escalating as the evening wore on. STOCKHOLM: Protesters threw stones at police and burned tyres in southern Sweden late on Friday , authorities said, hours after an anti-Muslim Danish politician was blocked from attending a Quran-burning rally nearby.
Rasmus Paludan, who leads the far-right Danish anti-immigration party Hard Line, was due to travel to Malmo to speak at that event. "We suspect that he was going to break the law in Sweden," Calle Persson, spokesman for the police in Malmo told AFP."There was also a risk that his behaviour... would pose a threat to society."
