Nothing To Moan About

Mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik is using the Human Rights Act (yes that one), to sue the Norwegian government, as he is not allowed contact with other prisoners ..... he has compared his conditions in prison to "torture". As you will no doubt recall, he killed 77 people in 2011.

Which is a lot by any standards (even I.S. mass murderers struggle with that level of killing), and he is obviously unrepentant, judging by his Nazi salute in the court room.
 
He has been allowed to study, and had access to books and the Internet etc while he did a political science course at the University of Oslo. But he is not happy with this, and includes in his complaints, the fact that his prison rooms are poorly decorated and have no view. He also complained that his coffee was served cold, that he did not have enough butter for his bread, and he was not allowed skin moisturiser.

But what got me was his prison accommodation ..... talk about luxurious.

All in all, taking in all his complaints about cold coffee, and not enough butter for his bread, I have to say that I have paid good money for a weeks holiday in the Balkans, in accommodation worse than this, and with much the same dining complaints, and still enjoyed myself nonetheless ..... and I was alone!

Had he been placed in a Nazi Concentration Camp, he might have found that he had real cause for complaint. We are mad to pander to his delusions.

  1. He must have lost all his appeals because he's not been in the news?

    The Scandinavian prisons look rather nice.

  2. If you want something doing, mutter mutter ....

    Actually my interest was piqued enough to check. Wiki states:

    In 2016, Breivik sued Norwegian Correctional Service, claiming that his solitary confinement violated his human rights and subjected him to degrading treatment and privacy violations.

    In its judgment of 20 April 2016, the City Court found that Breivik's rights under Article 3 of the Convention had been violated, but not those under Article 8.

    The government appealed against the City Court's judgment as concerned the finding of a breach of Article 3 of the Convention, while Breivik appealed as concerned the finding that Article 8 had not been breached.

    On 1 March 2017, the Court of Appeals ruled that neither Article 3 nor Article 8 had been breached. On 8 June 2017, Norway's Supreme Court upheld the verdict of the Court of Appeals.

    On 30 June 2017, Breivik filed a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights, which the court dismissed on 21 June 2018.


    .... so it appears that he will just have to suffer with his Internet, private room etc.

    1. Weirdly, a news report this morning was about his university course (correspondence only naturally).

      The university said teaching Breivik was about honouring the right of prisoners to pursue higher education if they meet the admission requirements.
