Appeals court rules against mass murderer Breivik
Norway did not violate the human rights of mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik by isolating him in jail, an appeals court has ruled, overturning a lower court ruling from last year.
The Borgarting Court of Appeal said Breivik, serving a 21-year sentence for killing 77 people in a 2011 bomb-and-shooting rampage, "has not been subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment", adding that the conditions for his incarceration were "not in violation" of the European Convention on Human Rights.
