In total, there are five separate events outside various embassies in Copenhagen during 2025.

Danish-Swedish Paludan denies any wrongdoing and tells Ritzau that the prosecution in Denmark will seek a prison sentence, which he in turn believes is contrary to the practice of the European Court of Human Rights.

In Sweden, Paludan, who has attracted attention, among other things, by burning Korans, has been sentenced to a suspended sentence and daily fines for incitement against a group of people during a street meeting in September 2022.
