The party leaders for all parties in the Riksdag have been invited to the meeting to be held on Tuesday at 5 p.m. The meeting, which is said to have a "high priority", aims to share information about the security situation following threats directed at Sweden.

According to the invitation that SVT Nyheter has seen, the prime minister must share the government's assessment of the security situation due to the demonstrations that took place in several countries.

"The Prime Minister wishes to inform about the development of events and share the government's assessment of the security situation due to the demonstrations and threats that are now being directed at Sweden and Swedish interests after the actions of the last few weeks in Stockholm.

At the meeting, an opportunity is given for dialogue on measures to strengthen Sweden's security," the letter says.

Widespread protests

The burning of the Koran in Stockholm has provoked strong reactions in Muslim countries.

Large protests have been carried out and Sweden's embassy in Ankara was closed earlier this week.

On Tuesday, hundreds of people gathered in the city of Lahore in Pakistan to protest against the burning of the Koran, AFP reports.

Earlier this week, a man allegedly pointed a gun at the Swedish Consulate General in Istanbul, according to Turkish media.
