Norway to appeal Breivik ruling

Jan 10, 2017

Norway says it will appeal a court ruling, that it violated the human rights of mass killer Anders Behring Breivik by keeping him in an isolation. 

The government argues that measures, which include hundreds of strip-searches and barring contact with other inmates are necessary, as he remains unrepentant for his crimes. 

Back in 2011, the right-wing extremist killed 8 with a home-made bomb outside the PM's office in Oslo.

He then travelled to a nearby island where he gunned down 69 people who were attending a left-wing political party's youth camp.
