The two experts were ready at the witness box on day two when Anders Behring Breivik entered the room. Like Tuesday, Breivik stood up in front of the press with a poster in front of his chest. He made a sign with his fingers that is used by several right-wing extremists, including the terrorist Brenton Tarrant. First full assessment since 2012 Anders Behring Breivik wants to be paroled, 13 years after the July 22 terror. The 45-year-old convicted of terrorism is serving a sentence of 21 years in custody with a minimum term of 10 years after the terrorist attacks. Has he changed so that it is more relevant now? Among other things, two forensic psychiatrists will assess this. On Wednesday, they present a more than 100-page report on Breivik, which is the first complete assessment of the terrorist since 2012. – We find no signs of schizophrenia or other psychotic conditions, begins psychologist specialist Kåre Nonstad. He says Breivik has an extremely right-wing view. Breivik himself has referred to this as a stick he clings to in order not to drown, Nonstad explains in court. Says the goal is better sentencing conditions Prosecutor Hulda Olsen Karlsdottir believes the report is in accordance with the district court’s conclusion in 2012. – 1: He is not mentally ill. 2: He has severe personality disorders. 3: It is a combination of disturbances and fanaticism that makes the terror happen. The expert report is a key piece of evidence for the prosecution, states Karlsdottir. She points out that the experts have had conversations with Breivik, know the history and that from a professional point of view they can assess the risks surrounding him. Defense attorney Øystein Storrvik believes Breivik is seriously ill, and needs better prison conditions. – That is what we are concerned with, says Storrvik. State prosecutor Hulda Olsen Karlsdottir points out that the report does not say anything new about Breivik and therefore believes he is as dangerous as before. Breivik’s defender, Øystein Storrvik, disagrees and believes that the report shows that Breivik is seriously ill and will therefore need better prison conditions. Referred to it as the Breivik show It is the second time he has asked for parole. The first petition was flatly rejected. Prosecutor Hulda Olsen Karlsdottir suggested on Tuesday that Breivik is using the trials as a stage, and pointed to a letter in which the terrorist himself referred to it as the “Breivik show”. – Do you use the cases to get your message out, and not for what the cases are about? wondered the prosecutor. – Both parts, replied Breivik. – Still dangerous In his explanation, Breivik referred to himself as a representative of a far-right group. – I tried to get Breivik to speak more on behalf of himself, and not on behalf of us and we. I think that is difficult for Breivik. But the prosecution still perceives Breivik as a dangerous person, concludes Karlsdottir. Published 20.11.2024, at 09.58 Updated 20.11.2024, at 10.17
