On July 22, 2011, Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 people in two terrorist attacks in Norway. First, he was behind the bomb that exploded in government buildings in Oslo, killing eight people.
He then went to the Norwegian island of Utøya and shot dead 69 children and adults. In April of the following year, he was sentenced to the most severe punishment under the law, 21 years in prison.
Norway’s deadliest terrorist is now demanding that he be paroled. Breivik’s lawyer, Øystein Storrvik, tells VG:
– On your behalf, I have submitted a request for a suspended sentence, Storrvik tells VG.
– A court hearing will be held if you are to be paroled. The legal question is whether the conditions for his continued detention have been met, says Storrvik.
Preparing the trial for the Norwegian state
Since the terrorist attack and verdict, Anders Behring Breivik has added a new name, Fjotolf Hansen. He also denounced the Norwegian state for human rights violations, in 2015, after being isolated from other prisoners. All Norwegian courts acquitted the Norwegian State, as did the European Court in Strasbourg.
But now he has denounced the state again and awaits a new trial.
– We plan to follow up the petition with a new trial on the sustainability of such a prolonged isolation under the European Convention on Human Rights. It has been so long since the problem was solved, says the lawyer.
