Demonstration Pegida in Apeldoorn banned at the last minute after threat of destruction of Koran

The announced demonstration of Pegida in Apeldoorn is prohibited on Friday afternoon just before the start. Mayor Ton Heerts decided that because the police "could no longer guarantee the safety of the Apeldoorners and the participants of the demonstration". Issue threatened to escalate after anti-Islam movement announced it would destroy a Quran at Turkish mosque.
