Today, a Koran burning has been planned in Landskrona, but the police have forced the organizer to move it to another location.

National Police Chief Anders Thornberg has now commented on the unrest of recent days. 

- Several participants in the riots have focused on attacking and seriously damaging police and police property, there has been an indifference to the lives of my employees and others.

We must show that those who commit such crimes do not escape.

Serious criminal attacks on the rule of law must and must be prosecuted quickly, says Anders Thornberg in a statement on the police's website. 

Anders Thornberg says nothing about the criticism of the police's strategy in recent days, but promises strong countermeasures to put an end to the unrest.

- We have seen violent riots before.

But this is something else.

It is a serious violence that is directed at life and property, above all at police officers, says Anders Thornberg.

SVT Nyheter has sought Anders Thornberg for an interview, but he has declined and refers to the statement on the police website.
