STOCKHOLM — The Oslo District Court says it will hear convicted terrorist and mass killer Anders Behring Breivik’s case against the Norwegian government in the prison where he’s serving a 21-year term.
Breivik, who killed 77 people in bomb and gun attacks in 2011, has sued the government for alleged human rights violations for holding him in isolation at the Skien prison in southern Norway.
