  • Story Text: On July 22, 2011, Anders Behring Breivik detonated a bomb in central Oslo, killing eight people, then took a boat to an island where the then-ruling Labour Party were holding a summer camp and shot dead 69 more people, mostly teenagers.
    It was the worst massacre Norway had seen since World War Two.
    On Friday (August 7), the youth wing will resume its summer camp on Utoya island.
    Breivik, a right-wing anti-Muslim radical who accused the then-ruling Labour Party of allowing too much immigration, is serving a 21-year prison term, Norway's maximum sentence. It can be extended if he is judged to be a threat at the end.
    Earlier this month, Breivik, now 36, launched legal action accusing the Norwegian state of violating his human rights by keeping him in strict isolation in prison four years after he massacred 77 people.
    The legal papers, filed with Oslo's main court and referring to the European Convention on Human Rights, were aimed at forcing Oslo to grant Breivik more access to other people and limit censorship of his letters.
