Breivik Human Rights Violation Ruling: Appeal Reaches Final Stages

 

The Norwegian government is presenting its closing statement in an appeal involving mass murderer, Anders Breivik.

It is aiming to overturn a court ruling that Norway violated Breivik’s human rights by holding him in isolation in prison.

Attorney General Frederik Sejerstad defended the measures, saying they were fully justified for a right-wing extremist who, he added, “is proud of what he has done.”

Breivik, 37, is serving Norway’s longest sentence – 21 years with the possibility of extension – for a killing rampage in July 2011.
