Breivik did not say hello when the trial started – news Buskerud – Local news, TV and radio

It looks like a normal gymnasium, with ribbed walls on one side and a climbing wall on the other. At one end, there is a coat of arms where there is usually a basketball hoop, above the desk of the court’s administrator, district court judge Birgitte Kolrud. The parquet in Ringerike prison has this week been loaned to the Oslo District Court. Breivik arrived at the court just after 10 o’clock, in a dark suit. He looked around a bit, and spent a good amount of time addressing the photographers. He did not make any greetings, nor did he have any ideological messages with him that he displayed. Mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik (44) has sued the state for sentencing conditions that he believes violate human rights. In a preparatory note to the court, lawyer Øystein Storrvik has described Breivik as suicidal. On Sunday, the lawyer told news that the client had tried to take his own life in prison. This is how news covers the trial For news, it is important to also cover this trial. We have a task to document this as part of the aftermath after 22 July. We refer to the terror convict by his real name – Anders Behring Breivik – and not Fjotolf Hansen, which he changed to in 2017. The national support group after 22 July and AUF had a meeting with the Norwegian Editors’ Association ahead of the trial, where they were particularly busy that Breivik will not be given a lectern to the public this week. news does not want to give the convicted terrorist the opportunity to communicate his ideological thinking, as he has tried in the past. Our coverage must be fact-oriented and focus on the purpose of the trial: issues related to sentencing conditions. We make ongoing assessments of both image use, angles and the overall dimensioning of the case, both in news and in the media as a whole. – He is damaged by isolation, suicidal and has attempted suicide in the last period, the last six years, says Storrvik, who explains that this will be part of the evidence in the trial. Believes the conditions are good enough After serving time in Ila and Skien earlier, Breivik is now in Ringerike prison. It is located on the opposite side of Utøya in the Tyrifjorden, half an hour’s drive away. On Utøya, the terrorist shot and killed 69 people, most of them young, after detonating a bomb in the government quarter, which killed 8 people.

Photo: Ole Berg-Rusten / NTB Since Breivik has sued the State, the Government Attorney is the opposing party in the case. They believe that the prison conditions are good enough, and necessary in terms of security – including Breivik’s own. In the prison, the terror convict has a separate section for himself, with his own living room and kitchen. He has exercise equipment and three budgies. Five-day trial Five days have been set aside for the trial in Ringerike prison. Breivik will explain himself on Tuesday. Later in the week, employees at the prison will be in the witness box, and the court will also hear the experiences of a so-called visiting friend the terror convict had in the past. He was not allowed to continue, as Breivik did not think it worked very well. Randi Rosenqvist is among those who have spoken most with Breivik after the terrorist attack, and the former psychiatrist has previously testified in court. Now she is retired and it is instead psychologist specialist Inni Rein who explains how she perceives Breivik.
