New lawsuit by Anders Behring Breivik - the Norwegian neo-Nazi accused of the Oslo and Utoya massacres where 77 people were killed in 2011 - against the Oslo authorities for the prison regime to which he is subjected, which he says is "inhuman".
Breivik, 44 years old, sentenced to the maximum sentence of 21 years in prison, with the possibility of extension, is currently detained in solitary confinement in a maximum security section of Ringerike prison and believes that the solitary confinement to which he is subjected violates Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which prohibits "inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment".
From what we learn, the area of the penitentiary where he is kept in solitary confinement has a kitchen, gym room, TV room and the managers of the facility would also have agreed to let him keep a cage with parrots.
Nonetheless, according to his lawyer, the prisoner would be "at risk of suicide and under the influence of antidepressants".
