Pride terror in Oslo 2022 Photo: Synnøve Sundby Fallmyr / news Two men were killed and 23 people injured in nightclubs in central Oslo on 25 June 2022. Zaniar Matapour (43) is charged with murder, attempted murder and acts of terrorism. Islamist Arfan Bhatti and two other men are charged with complicity in the attack, which is considered serious terrorism. Follow the thread. Afterwards, the street where the terror took place, between the Thon Hotel Rosenkrantz and the London Pub, was painted in rainbow colors and declared car-free. Several believe the attack could have been avoided if the security services had done a better job. Afterwards, several pride events were canceled for fear of more attacks. In 2023, more people are expected in the pride marking, especially in Oslo, than ever before. Read all the articles about the pride shooting here. As of 31 May 2023. – It is with limited interest that I look forward to what I perceive to be an internal police evaluation. I think the committee’s members are far too close to the police to make a proper assessment of it. Furthermore, we know what we need: PST had all available information to prevent it, yet they did nothing. That’s what Marius Dietrichson says, who represents terrorist suspect Zaniar Matapour. Defense attorney Marius Dietrichson calls the report an “internal police evaluation”.

Earlier it became known that an agent from E-tenesta chatted with a Norwegian Islamist about a possible attack on Norway. The information must have been shared with PST, which nevertheless did not notify the Oslo police. – In addition, it is the case that the committee has been told by the ministry not to go into what the Defense Intelligence Service has put in place. If you cannot look at what the governing authorities have done as a whole, then the evaluation makes no sense either. The committee is put together as follows: The committee, which will carry out the evaluation, is headed by Pia Therese Jansen, associate professor at the Norwegian Defense Academy. The members of the selection: Christoffer Conrad Eriksen: Professor at the University of Oslo. Jacob Aa Ravndal: Associate professor at the Norwegian Police Academy Gisle Skoglund: Police inspector at the Norwegian Police Academy. Siren Hoven: Psychiatrist and head of department at the University Hospital in Northern Norway. Christina Lill Rolfheim-Bye: Director of Communications at the Institute of Public Health. Anders Løberg: Fire and rescue manager Asker and Bærum fire and rescue. The committee that presents the report on Thursday will only look at information sharing and interaction between the police, PST and the health care system in advance of the incident. The e-service is not part of the evaluation, something several Storting politicians have reacted to. The Ministry of Justice has previously said that they have received a written report from E-tenesta on the matter, and that it is available to the committee. news has been in contact with PST, who will not comment on the matter until the report has been submitted. Demand action Dan Bjørke, head of Oslo Pride, says the queer community has high expectations of the evaluation. He believes that the information PST put forward is the core of the report. – What did the police and security authorities know in advance, and what did they do with the information from and the interaction between E-tenesta, PST and the police. It is completely unbelievable that PST has not informed the Oslo police about it. HEKTIC: Dan Bjørke is in the midst of preparing for this year’s pride festival in Oslo. He believes the content of the evaluation report will affect many people in the queer environment. Photo: Martin HW Zondag / news – How will the report affect the queer environment? – I think many will again feel unease and anger. It is quite clear that many people will experience injustice. Bjørke also says that they have expectations that the report will lead to more measures. – The governing authorities have said that they cannot take further measures because they are waiting for the report. When the report arrives, I think there is a strong expectation that the governing authorities will start to act. Christian Lundin, legal counsel for 130 victims of the Oslo terror attack, says that the clients are looking forward to the report and that they are concerned about whether enough investigations were carried out in advance of the incident. – They wonder whether the incident could have been avoided with the communication that has been between the various agencies. Christian Lundin, legal counsel for 130 victims of the Oslo terror attack, says that the clients are looking forward to the report. Photo: Ronald Hole Fossåskaret / news Other questions they want answers to in the evaluation are about the police action itself right after the shooting. – Some are preoccupied with it. Why didn’t you get to the place faster, why weren’t you there, and those who were there, why didn’t they intervene? These are questions many people have, which they hope to get answers to, says Lundin.
