The demonstration is scheduled for 12 noon on Friday.

– We are in dialogue with the organizer and other parties that may be affected, such as the Israeli embassy, says Mats Eriksson, press spokesperson at the police.

The application was submitted by a woman in her 50s who states that it is a "manifestation for children's rights in Sweden that is systematically violated". She writes that the plan is to "light the Torah with a lighter."

"Adapting resources"

The permit certificate from the police states that four people are expected to participate in the demonstration.

– We adapt the resources based on the incident, if it is extensive, we have more police on site, says Mats Eriksson.

Earlier this summer, a man in his 30s was given permission for a gathering outside the Israeli embassy where the plan was to burn the Torah and the Bible. Once there, the man threw a lighter on the ground and said he had no intention of burning any books.

Several applications to the police

In addition to the granted permit, there are several applications on the table of the Stockholm police where the intention is stated to be to burn religious scriptures. But in these cases, the police have not made any decisions so far.

• The two men who burned the Koran earlier this summer have applied for new gatherings where the planes are Koran burnings, including outside Iran's embassy. The men are being investigated for hate speech after the previous actions.

• A man in his 50s has applied for a gathering where he wants to burn the Bible outside Riddarholmskyrkan in Stockholm. However, the man tells SVT that he has changed his mind.

• A woman in her 30s has applied for a demonstration outside Iran's embassy where the plan is said to be to burn, among other things, religious texts and Iran's flag.
