Sweden’s Muslims Tough Ramadan Test
Muslims around the world are marking the holy month of Ramadan by fasting during daylight hours.
Refraining from food and water is a challenge for many in the Middle East, but it is considerably more difficult in the northern hemisphere, in countries like Sweden where the days are longer.
Al Jazeera’s Linda Nyberg reports from Stockholm.
