What FACTLY found

Lars Thorsen, leader of the anti-Islam group SIAN, burnt the Quran outside a Mosque in Oslo on 03 July 2022. Outraged by this act by Lars Thorsen and other SIAN protestors, two women chased Lars Thorsen’s car with their Mercedes car and deliberately rammed away his vehicle onto a roof causing the overturning of the vehicle. It was not a natural accident
