Anders Behring Breivik’s human rights violated, says Oslo court

Norwegian authorities have violated mass killer Anders Behring Breivik’s human rights by holding him in solitary confinement in a three-cell complex where he can play video games, watch TV and exercise, a court in Oslo ruled.

The Oslo district court said Breivik’s solitary confinement for killing 77 people in 2011 bomb-and-gun massacres breached the European Convention on Human Rights’ ban on inhuman treatment.

“The prohibition of inhuman and degrading treatment represents a fundamental value in a democratic society. This applies no matter what — also in the treatment of terrorists and killers,” the court said.
