Terrorist Anders Breivik complains that he is “completely cut off from the world” in prison, which he sees as inhumane treatment. This is his second such lawsuit.
Anders Breivik’s lawyer, Øystein Storrvik, said the prisoner’s conditions had deteriorated again and authorities sentenced him to permanent isolation. According to the defender, “total cutting off from the world is inhumane”.
– The lack of personal contact is very serious when we know that the prison sentence can be extended for life. The lack of contact with other people at any level is an extremely drastic interference with human life, Storrvik said.
Another shooter lawsuit
This is another lawsuit filed by Anders Breivik, who has been serving a prison sentence since 2012. The previous one ended in June 2018 at the European Court of Human Rights. The ECtHR upheld the rejection of the criminal’s complaint by the Norwegian Court of Appeal in March 2017, deeming Breivik’s application “inadmissible for manifestly unfounded”. The perpetrator then complained that the three-room cell did not meet his requirements. He also resented the prison authorities for not allowing him to correspond freely with his sympathizers.
Last year, the attacker asked for a reduced sentence. The Norwegian court rejected him, but decided to transfer the prisoner from Telemark to Ringerike. Breivik’s situation in the new prison was discussed by his defender, quoted by the Norwegian daily “Aftenposten”.
– There were better facilities. But in the past year his situation in Ringerike prison has deteriorated. We believe this is a very unfortunate step backwards after so many years of isolation,” said Storrvik. In his latest application, Breivik will also ask for early release. The Norwegian court is likely to consider the case in the spring of 2024.
Attack and judgement
On July 22, 2011, Anders Breivik committed two terrorist attacks. First, it exploded in Oslo’s government district, killing eight people and injuring 209, 12 seriously. He then shot dead 77 people and wounded 110 on the island of Utoya, where a Norwegian Workers’ Party youth camp was taking place.
For his actions, Breivik was sentenced on 24 August 2012 to 21 years in prison – the highest possible sentence in Norway. Under Norwegian law, after the sentence has expired, the court may decide to keep Breivik in prison if it considers that he still poses a danger to society.
