The Finnish police is making this clear after a spate of Quran burning in Sweden and Denmark lead by Danish-Swede politician Rasmus Paludan, the head of the far-right Stram Kurs (Hard Line) Party. He burned a copy of the Quran in front of a mosque in Denmark on Friday, according to Anadolu.

In 2021 a poll of Finnish MPs found that they didn't want to change the current law on religion, which carries a six-month sentence for blasphemy.
National Police Board in #Finland announced that it would not allow a public burning of the Koran,as has occurred in #Sweden & #Denmark, referring to the Finnish law, which stipulates that violating religious peace is a punishable offence.
