Norway killer Anders Breivik threatens hunger strike

30 September 2015 Europe

Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik has threatened to starve himself to death in protest at his treatment in prison, according to media reports.

Breivik claims to have been kept in isolation since 2 September, with time outside his cell limited to an hour a day.

Breivik killed 77 people in 2011 when he bombed central Oslo before going on a shooting spree at a youth camp.

He was sentenced to 21 years in 2012.

His claims about deteriorating prison conditions were made in a letter to media outlets in Norway and Sweden.
