Terrorist Breivik accused the Norwegian authorities of violating human rights

[Regnum] Far-right Norwegian extremist Anders Breivik is dissatisfied with his imprisonment and has filed a lawsuit against the country's authorities, Reuters reported, citing the terrorist's lawyer.

According to the human rights activist, Breivik sued the Norwegian authorities because of the 11-year stay in "extreme" isolation, he does not contact anyone except his guards.

“Last year he was transferred to a new prison, and we hoped that there would be better conditions and that he would be able to meet other people,” the lawyer said.

Breivik in 2011 set off a powerful explosive device in the capital of Norway, the city of Oslo. Eight people were killed in the explosion, and hundreds more were injured. On the same day, he fired on the island of Utøya, where the participants of the rally of the youth wing of the Social Democratic Workers' Party gathered. Then he shot the participants of the youth forum on the island of Utøya. 77 people died. The terrorist was sentenced to 21 years in prison.

As IA Regnum reported, in the fall of 2020, the right-wing radical Anders Breivik, who committed the terrorist attack in 2011, filed a petition for parole, since in 2021 the minimum allowable period of his stay in prison expired according to the sentence received. Representatives of the Norwegian prosecutor's office stated that there were no prerequisites for the release of the terrorist.

Just because the sentence can be shortened by as much as half does not mean it must be shortened. And Norwegian law apparently allows for extensions beyond the original sentence for those deemed still dangerous to society. Mr. Breivik’s file goes back to early childhood interventions due to concerns that he was emotionally damaged by a hateful mother and an absent father, compounded by the time of crime by months of using anabolic steroids, ephedra, and caffeine.

State Attorney Hulda Karlsdottir said in January 2022 that Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik, who was convicted of killing 77 people in 2011 and who wants to get out of jail on parole, could commit a new crime.

That, too. Though that argument could be made at any point before his body is dead and buried, suggesting that 21 years is not nearly long enough.
