Breivik human rights ruling: Norway to appeal verdict

26 April 2016 Europe

Norway is to appeal against a verdict won by mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik over his treatment in prison.

Last week a court upheld his claim that some of the conditions he faced in jail amounted to "inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment".

But the justice ministry said in a statement that it had asked the attorney general to fight the ruling.

Breivik killed 69 people at a summer camp for young political activists on the island of Utoeya in July 2011.

1. Human Rights Of His Victims

That POS does not care about the rights he forever deprived his victims of. His political statement was far too important for that concern, but god forbid he should suffer during his confinement.

2. More from your article:

"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.
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 law is clear as to treatment in the EU.

IMO it's imperative to deny this monster his freedom ever again. However, while incarcerated, he should be treated humanely.

I think 22 - 23 hours solitary per day would exacerbate his pysychopathy even further. So either execute him, put a loaded gun in his room hoping he kills himself, or treat him humanely but deny him his freedom for the rest of his natural life.

I can't see civilized societies using torture even amongst the most vile.
