A lawsuit launched by far-right fanatic and mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik accusing the state of abusing his human rights has opened in Norway.
Breivik, who killed 77 people in a bombing and shooting rampage in 2011, appeared in a court set up in the high-security jail in which he is serving his sentence on Monday. By accusing Norway’s Ministry of Justice of breaching his human rights, he hopes to force the authorities to end his years in isolation.
The 44-year-old killer’s lawyer laid out an argument that the conditions of his detention violated his human rights.
“He has been isolated for about 12 years,” Oeystein Storrvik told the hearing. “He is only in contact with professionals, not with other inmates.”
In earlier court filings, Storrvik had argued the isolation had left Breivik suicidal and dependent on the anti-depression medication Prozac.
Breivik claims the isolation he has faced since he started serving his prison sentence in 2012 amounts to inhumane punishment under the European Convention on Human Rights. He failed in a similar attempt in 2016 -17, when his appeal was denied by the European Court of Justice.
The extremist, who distributed copies of a manifesto before his attack, is suing the state and also asking the court to lift restrictions on his correspondence with the outside world.
He killed eight people with a car bomb in Oslo then gunned down 69 others, most of them teenagers, at a Labour Party youth camp. It was Norway’s worst peacetime atrocity.
Breivik spends his time in a dedicated section of Ringerike prison, the third prison in which he has been held. His separated section includes a training room, a kitchen, a TV room and a bathroom, pictures from a visit last month by news agency NTB showed.
He is allowed to keep three budgerigars as pets and let them fly freely in the area, NTB reported.
Being a child killer among other people that have committed murders but still have some principles is usually not good. Not to mention being like THE child killer in Norway not just any child killer.
I’m British, THE child killer here would’ve been Myra Hindley, would I have killed her in prison? Yes. Yes I would. I’m pretty sure there’s some fairly rough guys in there that would not take kindly to a person that slaughtered 69 kids one by one by one at a fucking summer camp.
So many good future socialists died that day. I completely guarantee someone kills the fucker if he is mixed in with everyone.
Not really sure why you think Norwegians are ontologically predisposed to not want to kill child mass murderers tbh.
She’s the anti-mother, mommy is that you?
She’s the anti-mother, mother, mother is that you?
It’s Myra Hindley on the cover,
Your very own sweet anti-mother.
There she is on the pages of The Star,
Ain’t that just the place you wish you were?
Let her rot in hell is what you said,
Let her rot, let her starve, you’d see her dead.
Let her out but don’t forget to tell you where she is,
The chance to screw her is a chance you wouldn’t miss.
Let her suffer, give her pain is the verdict you gave,
You just can’t wait to piss on her grave.
You pretend that you’re horrified, make out that you care,
But really you wish that you had been there.
You say you can’t bear the thought of what she did,
But you’d do it to her, you’d see her dead.
Tell me, what is the difference between her and you?
You say that you would kill her, well, what else would you do?
Don’t you see that violence has no end? Isn’t limited by rules?
Don’t you see as angels preaching you’re nothing but the fools?
Fools step in, where angels fear to tread,
You see, to kill others is the ethic of the dead.
She’s the anti-mother, mommy is that you?
She’s the anti-mother, mother, mother is that you?
That single mug shot from the past
Ensures your fantasy can last and last.
It gives you the chance to air your hate
Because she got there first, you were too late.
Hindleys’ crime was to do what others think,
Took her anger and her prejudice and pushed it to the brink.
Then you goodly christian people, with your sickly mask of love,
Would tear that woman limb from limb, you’d never get enough.
So you keep the story alive,
So you can make yourselves believe,
That you are so much better than her.
But you aren’t, that’s YOUR GUILT laying there.
She’s the anti-mother, mommy is that you?
She’s the anti-mother, mother, mother is that you?
She’s the anti-mother, mommy is that you?
She’s the anti-mother, mother, mother is that you?
Mother? Mother? Mother? Mother? Mother? Mother? Mother? Mother? Mother?
