Ripper up Ingrid Kragh Swang is the leader of the Support Group on 22 July in Buskerud. Her eldest son Kristian survived the terror on Utøya. – We are sick and tired of this being brought up again and again. It wears us down and tears something up in us, she says. Swang says she will keep informed about the trial, but that she will also protect herself. – We live with what has happened, but we don’t have to deal with the person who did it, says Swang. I am sure that the trial will not lead Eivind Knudsen is the head of the main committee for health, social care and care in Drammen.

Both he and his brother Håkon were on Utøya, and both survived. – I do not intend to spend either time or effort following this trial which he is going to lose, he says. – I was aware that there would be a court case. After all, I follow the news; reads newspapers and listens to the radio. But I hadn’t realized that it is now. Relieved by the district court’s decision, Ingrid Swang says that many of the bereaved and next of kin have been excited about whether the trial should be streamed online. They fear that Breivik will use the trial to spread his political message. But on Thursday, the Oslo District Court decided that there will be no live transmission of Breivik’s statement or the statement of any of the other witnesses.

And then it’s okay not to give him a microphone stand to inspire, says Swang.

Unni Kravik will spend as little time as possible on the trial and news about it. Photo: Private Unni Kravik from Mjøndalen had a daughter Venill on Utøya. The son Kristian worked as a security guard in the center of Oslo and was near the government quarter when the bomb went off on 22 July 2011. The 17-year-old Venill survived by clinging to a rock wall, while AUF friends were shot around her. His brother Kristian came unharmed from the bomb. He ran to help the badly injured, and in the years that followed, Kristian struggled with the strong experiences from that day. He started getting high, and in 2017 he was found dead after a cardiac arrest. – I can’t bear to spend energy on Breivik, nor on the case, says Kravik. Nor is she going to follow the trial. – Have you spoken to other relatives or survivors ahead of the trial? – No, not with anyone other than my husband. It’s almost a non-topic. We can talk about Utøya and the government quarter, but not about him. Hello! Thank you for reading the whole case. If you have any tips in this case or in similar cases, please get in touch.
