Anders Breivik had accused the Norwegian state of violating his human rights by years of solitary confinement. A court dismissed his lawsuit and he is now seeking an appeal.

The 45-year-old Norwegian has his own “department” on two floors in Ringerike Prison northwest of Oslo. Photos from there show, among other things, a spacious kitchen, a TV room and three budgies. The terrorist attacks with a total of 77 deaths are considered by far the worst acts of violence in Norway's post-war period.
