Police wrong to deny permit for Paludan's Borås rally, court says
The police were wrong to deny Rasmus Paludan a permit to demonstrate in Borås on April 29, according to the Swedish Administrative Court.
Paludan, a far-right political hopeful, has sought police permission to host public rallies in Swedish cities where he wants to burn copies of the Quran.
The court did, however, agree with the police when they refused Paludan's request to host gatherings in Hjällbo municipality and Angered.
