Norwegian Mass Killer Breivik Loses Appeal Against Prison Isolation

Anders Behring Breivik's bid to end his solitary confinement on human rights grounds was rejected by Oslo City Court, marking his second failed attempt.

Overview

  • Anders Behring Breivik, responsible for the deaths of 77 people in 2011, lost his second lawsuit against the Norwegian state over his solitary confinement.
  • The court ruled that Breivik's prison conditions, including a two-story complex with amenities, do not violate human rights.
  • Breivik, who has been in isolation since 2012, immediately appealed the decision.
  • Psychological assessments present conflicting views on Breivik's mental health, with recent testimony questioning his claims of depression and suicidal thoughts.
  • Breivik's 21-year sentence, which can be extended indefinitely, reflects the severity of his crimes, with authorities still considering him dangerous.
