The Telemark District Court must rule whether Breivik is still so dangerous that society needs extra protection against him. and keep him behind bars A decade ago, the Norwegian mass killer was sentenced to 21 years in prison for the terrorist acts on the island of Utoya and in the government quarter in Oslo. It can be extended indefinitely.
Under Norwegian law, Brevik, 42, is eligible to seek parole after serving the first 10 years of his term. Breivik, sporting a stubble beard and a two-piece suit, walked into the court room with white supremacist message pinned to his blazer, his bag and also held up a sign with the same message.
He made Nazi salutes as he entered the court and presented himself as the leader of a Norwegian neo-Nazi movement, suggesting he would use the parole hearing as an opportunity to manifest his white supremacist views rather than make an earnest attempt for an early release.
Prosecutor Hulda Karlsdottir started the hearing by saying the imprisonment conditions of Breivik, who legally changed his name to Fjotolf Hansen in 2017, will have no influence on the matter of parole. They are “completely subordinate. The main topic here is the danger associated with release,” she told the court.
