Salwan Sabah Matti Momika[1] (Arabic: سلوان صباح متَّى موميكا; Syriac: ܣܠܘܢ ܨܒܚ ܡܬܝ ܡܘܡܝܟܐ; 23 June 1986 – 29 January 2025) was an Iraqi refugee and former paramilitary member of the Popular Mobilization Forces in The Battalion of the Spirit of God Jesus Son of Mary.

According to Iraqi government sources, Momika fled his hometown in 2012 after the local court found him guilty of causing a wrongful death during a car accident and sentenced him to three years of imprisonment in Badush.

[19] After he was granted a residence permit in Sweden, while still under investigation for his associations with the pro-Iranian militant group, he threatened a man with whom he shared accommodation with a knife, which resulted in him being convicted for unlawful threats the following year.

[17] In 2023, Momika staged demonstrations in which he burned copies of the Quran, considered desecration in Islam, with legal permission and police protection.

[21] Momika posted dozens of videos online, often with majority-Muslim country names in Arabic as hashtags, prior to the Quran burnings.

[25] Shortly after his departure, there were reports in social media that he had been found dead in Norway, but Norwegian police appeared to deny the rumours.

[26] On 4 April, Norwegian police announced they had arrested Momika on 28 March, and that they planned to deport him back to Sweden based on the Dublin Regulation.
