    Anders Behring Breivik, Norwegian who Murdered 77 People

    Prison to hire friends for Breivik

    THE prison where Anders Behring Breivik may be locked up for massacring 77 people last year will hire people with whom he can socialise.

    If jailed, Breivik could not have normal contacts inside the prison due to the risk of a hostage situation, Ila prison director Knut Bjarkeid told Norway's Verdens Gang (VG) daily.

    "Many of the measures surrounding Breivik are being created to avoid a hostage-taking, which would be the only way for him to get through all the different layers of security that have been established between him and freedom," he told the paper.

    "That makes it impossible to allow normal contact with others," he added.

    To avoid keeping the confessed killer in total isolation, the high security prison, northwest of Oslo, could let him play sports with the guards and hire someone to play chess with him, among other things, he added.

    "We are planning a professional community around him, with employees and hired personnel," he told the paper.

    Mr Bjarkeid did not say how much the measures would cost.

    Norwegian law forbids keeping prisoners in total isolation for long periods of time because it is considered an unduly cruel punishment.

    On July 22, 2011, the 33-year-old right-wing extremist first bombed a government building in Oslo, killing eight people, before going on a shooting rampage on the nearby island of Utoeya, where the ruling Labour Party's youth wing was hosting a summer camp.

    He killed 69 people on the island, most of them teens.

    Breivik has confessed to the twin attacks but has refused to plead guilty, insisting they were "cruel but necessary" to stop the ruling Labour Party's "multicultural experiment" and the "Muslim invasion" of Norway and Europe.

    While he has been charged with committing acts of terror, the focal point of his ongoing trial is to determine the question of his sanity. That in turn will decide whether he will be sent to prison or a closed psychiatric ward.

    A first court-ordered psychiatric evaluation conducted last year said Breivik was psychotic, suffering from "paranoid schizophrenia" and therefore not responsible for his actions. A second opinion however concluded that Breivik was sane enough to be held responsible.

    If found of sound mind when the five Oslo district court judges hand down their verdict in July, he will likely face Norway's maximum 21-year prison sentence. That term can be extended for as long as he is considered a threat to society.

    Norway mass killer wants to go back to school



    STOCKHOLM (AP) -- Convicted mass killer Anders Behring Breivik has applied for admission to the University of Oslo, testing the limits of Norway's commitment to rehabilitate criminals rather than punish them.

    The right-wing extremist, who killed 77 people in bomb and gun attacks two years ago, wants to study political science, and prison and university officials say he could do his studies in his cell if accepted by the school.

    "In Norway, and I'm proud of this, we have a system where inmates, in general, can apply to study at universities, most of them from their own cell, so it will be distance learning," said Ole Petter Ottersen, the rector of the University of Oslo. "This is a principle that is put in place to help the inmate get back to society."

    Ottersen said he couldn't comment on prospective students but added it was "publicly known" that Breivik had applied to the university.

    Others, including Education Minister Kristin Halvorsen, have said Breivik is a special case and shouldn't enjoy the same rights as other prisoners.

    The self-styled anti-Muslim militant surrendered to police on July 22, 2011, after setting off a bomb outside the government headquarters in Oslo and opening fire at a summer camp for young Labor Party activists on Utoya island. Eight people died in the bombing and 69, mostly teenagers, were killed on the island. Breivik showed no remorse for his actions, calling his victims traitors for supporting a multicultural society.

    "This is a special situation because we are facing a mass murderer who will never again be released into Norwegian society," Halvorsen told broadcaster TV2 this week. "So many of the arguments we have for encouraging inmates in Norwegian prisons to get an education don't apply to the same degree."

    Breivik's defense lawyers were startled by her comments, saying there is no legal basis to deny him the education rights that other inmates enjoy.

    They also criticized her assumption that Breivik, 34, will never be released from prison.


    "That is not up to politicians to decide," said Tord Jordet, who is part of Breivik's legal defense team.

    Breivik was sentenced to the maximum term of 21 years. After that a court can extend his sentence if it considers him a danger to society.

    He is being kept away from other inmates at Ila Prison for security reasons, and has access to newspapers, TV and radio but no Internet connection.

    His university application is expected to be processed this month.

    Ottersen, the university rector, said prison authorities decide how an inmate should conduct his or her studies. "The role of the university is to provide the learning material and to evaluate the exams," he said.

    Per Anders Langeroed, an Oslo city councilman who survived the Utoya massacre by swimming from the island, said it's worth discussing whether helping Breivik get an education was "resources well spent."

    Still, Langeroed found "no reason to deny him the right to read some books and take some exams," providing that teachers and other students wouldn't have to interact with him.

    "Because what we experienced when we faced terror was that when everything around you fell and you were afraid of everything, the comforting thing was to hold on to some basic principles," Langeroed said.

    He wants to study political science, no less. We know a little about his politics and political strategies. Can you imagine being an instructor forced to read and grade his work?

    Certainly not.

    I can't even imagine why he is still alive after murdering so many kids, and yet it seems like their pathetic country wants to REWARD him for doing this. The country of Norway has, at the most, shown APATHY for what he did, with little to no outrage or adamant claims of inhumanity regarding this animal. He makes serial killers like Anthony Allen Shore and Tommy Lynn Sells look like bunnies strolling through a tulip field.

    I do begin to imagine, however, how and why a country can be so weak.

    Anders Behring Breivik, Norway murderer, wins human rights case

    Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik has won part of a human rights case against the Norwegian state.

    The court upheld his claim that some of his treatment amounted to "inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment".

    After the judgement, Breivik's lawyer, Oystein Storrvik, called for his solitary confinement to be repealed.

    Breivik, a right-wing extremist, killed dozens of young centre-left political activists in an attack on the island of Utoya in July 2011.
    Earlier that day, he set off a car bomb in the capital, Oslo, killing eight people.

    Kept alone

    In her ruling, judge Helen Andenaes Sekulic said the right not to be subjected to inhuman treatment represented "a fundamental value in a democratic society" and also applied to "terrorists and killers".

    Breivik had challenged the government over his solitary confinement, which saw him kept alone in his cell for 22 to 23 hours a day, denied contact with other inmates and only communicating with prison staff through a thick glass barrier

    His prison regime deviated so markedly from that enforced upon any other prisoner in Norway, regardless of the severity of their crimes, that it had to be considered an extra punishment, the judge said.

    However, article three of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) required that prisoners be detained in conditions that did not exceed the unavoidable level of suffering inherent in detention, given the practical requirements of the particular case, she said.

    The prison authorities had also not done enough to counteract the damage he had suffered from being in isolation, she said.

    Judge Sekulic also noted that Breivik had been woken up every half hour at night over a long period of time and on some occasions subjected to strip searches with female officers present, which he found particularly difficult.

    "Taken together with the other stringent restrictions which he was subject, this was regarded as degrading treatment in the Convention sense," said the judge, NRK reported.

    'Facilitate a community'


    State lawyer Marius Emberland said the government was surprised by the verdict but had not decided whether to appeal.

    If neither side appeals against the judgement within four weeks, the prison is obliged to make Breivik's prison regime more lenient in line with the judge's remarks, NRK reported.

    The prison must work to bring in other prisoners and "facilitate a community", the judge said.

    However, the judge ruled that strict controls on Breivik's correspondence were justified and his right to a private and family life under article eight of the ECHR had not been violated.

    The court also ordered the Norwegian state to pay Breivik's legal costs of 330,000 kroner ($40,000; £28,000).

    Bjorn Ihler, a survivor of Breivik's massacre of young activists on Utoya, tweeted that the judgement in Breivik's favour showed Norway had a "working court system, respecting human rights even under extreme conditions".

    What a joke! Paul Bernardo murdered 3 young women in Canada and has spent 20 years in solitary confinement, locked up 23 hours a day in a maximum security prison. And you know what, we don't care, because the only thing Canadians want is to see him taken out of prison in a body bag one day. Hopefully sooner than later..

    This guy murders 77 children and within a few short years he wins a human rights case. People's priorities are so wrong these days.
