The decisions stipulated banning all goods of Swedish origin, whether imported directly from Sweden or imported through other countries, be brought to Yemen.

It also stipulated the cancellation and delisting of agencies registered with the Ministry for goods, products and services of Swedish origin. As well as canceling and writing off the registration of branches of foreign companies that operate in the name or for the account of a Swedish foreign company.

The decisions of the Minister of Industry and Trade also stipulated the cancellation and deletion of marks registered in the names of Swedish establishments or companies, or any mark placed on goods, products and services of Swedish origin. It is prohibited to receive any requests or transactions related to any agency or trademark related to goods, products and services of Swedish origin.

Minister Al-Mutahhar affirmed that the Ministry of Industry and Trade attaches great importance to the process of boycotting the goods of countries that offend Islam and Muslims, within the framework of the necessary action to respond to the Western crime against the divine message of Islam.

On Tuesday, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi stressed that the minimum possible response to the crime of burning the Quran is the severing of diplomatic relations and the economic boycott of Sweden.

"It would be a salutary lesson for other countries if Muslim countries severed their diplomatic relations with Sweden and started bringing it under economic sanctions," he said.

Sayyed Abdulmalik made the remarks less than a week after two men stood outside the Swedish capital of Stockholm's central mosque and burned a copy of the holy book following a go-ahead given to them by a Swedish court.
