Both according to the provisions of the constitution and the ECtHR&#8217;s practice regarding Article 6 of the ECHR. We have therefore sent a complaint about PST&#8217;s public statements to the Ministry of Justice and to the Attorney General, says Heiberg.  &#8220;Substantial&#8221; The defenders refer to several statements and call them &#8220;substantial&#8221;.  They believe that the state has a responsibility to stop ongoing human rights violations.  They believe PST&#8217;s statements violate Matapour&#8217;s rights, and they therefore refer to article 6, number 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights.  &#8220;The fact that the person regards the person concerned as guilty before there is a verdict is to be considered an offence,&#8221; the lawyers write in the letter.  Senior adviser Martin Bernsen in PST confirms to news that they are aware of the letter, but will not comment on it.  &#8211; We are the recipient of a copy of a letter sent to the Ministry of Justice, says Bernsen to news.  The case is being investigated by both the PST and the Oslo police district (OPD).  THE TARGET: Zaniar Matapour pictured on a surveillance camera at a restaurant in Oslo before the attack.  Photo: the police The defenders believe that PST&#8217;s statements to the public differ markedly from the approach chosen by the Oslo police district.  &#8211; What do you think the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney General should do?  &#8211; Firstly, it should be ensured that this form of illegal statements from public authorities immediately stops.  At the same time, we have also asked the ministry, as a representative of Norway as a state, to acknowledge that violations have taken place.  &#8211; Now PST is a secret service.  Could it not be that they are sitting on information that they cannot share and that makes them confident in their case?  &#8211; We have repeatedly said that if such information is available, we expect it to be placed in the case in line with general Norwegian procedural law, so that we, as Matapour&#8217;s defenders, also get access.  You obviously cannot process a public opinion with secret evidence without the defense being simultaneously given access to rebuttal, says Heiberg.  news has not been able to get a comment from the Ministry of Justice.<br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrk.no\/norge\/matapours-forsvarere-klager-inn-pst-etter-oslo-skytingen_-_-ulovlig-1.16068596\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ttn-69 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The defenders react in particular to the fact that temporary PST chief Roger Berg says during a press conference already on 25 June that PST &#8220;considers the act to be an extreme Islamist act of terrorism&#8221;.
