Iraqi man shouts and throws shoe at Breivik in court
Verdens Gang (VG) reports that a man jumped up from his seat and threw a shoe at Anders Behring Breivik in court today.
Breivik was quickly escorted out of the courtroom and the shoe thrower, a man from Iraq, was quickly dragged away by police officers while he shouted in English: “Go to hell, go to hell, you killed my brother.”
The shoe that was thrown hit one of Breivik’s lawyers, Vibeke Hein Bæra. According to VG, the incident was a dramatic event that caused very many to begin crying. Some, however, applauded the attack. Judge Wenche Arntzen immediately ordered a break in the court session.
Authorities drove the attacker away in an ambulance rather than in a police car.

When Breivik was brought into court again, he spoke with his lawyers and gesticulated strongly.
“If there is someone who wants to throw something, you can throw at me when I go in or out [of the room],” says Breivik.
“Do not throw at my lawyer,” he said further.
He has now taken place at the dock, after a short conversation with the defenders.
The judges are back, and the court is set again. The Judge Wenche Arntzen does not mention the incident.

“My brother was killed on Utøya. He was alone in Norway, without family. The killer took his life. And he destroyed the life of me and my family. I have traveled from Iraq to Norway to be present in court. And it has made a huge impression on me,” he said.
His brother, Karar Mustafa Qasim, came to Norway as a single asylum seeker from Iraq as a 16-year-old. On Utøya, at the Bolshevik Bay, he was hit four times by the killer’s bullets….

Supreme Court rejects appeal from the press
4/13/2012
Supreme Court rejects media appeal of the District Court’s decision not to allow the transfer of Anders Behring Breivik explanation.
In ruling from the Supreme Court states that the appeal of the Norwegian Press Association and the Norwegian Association for the editor to broadcast Anders Behring Breivik’s testimony in court is rejected.
But the media can transfer directly from the experts’ testimony during the terror trial, it was also decided today….
The confusion around Anders Behring Breivik’s mental health allows as much as possible of the trial should be broadcast, according to the Norwegian press.
Therefore, the editors asked again for permission to send part of the explanation to Breivik on TV and radio.
Previously, the Oslo District Court and Court of Appeal said no to the transfer.
The court believes they can deny broadcast because it will cause an unreasonable burden on families and victims….

“Like you do in dictatorships”
12.apr.2012
Per Edgar Kokkvold of the Norwegian Press Association believes it is very important that Anders Behring Breivik explanation on TV. Now the case is heard by the Supreme Court.
The Court of Appeal rejected the 27 March TV transmission of Anders Behring Breivik’s testimony during the trial of terror. But the Association of Norwegian Editors and the Norwegian Press Association has appealed the case to the Supreme Court.
Secretary General of the Norwegian Press Association Per Edgar Kokkvold think it’s important that people get to see Breivik statement. This is especially because the expert report, issued Tuesday concluded that he is sane, contrary to the initial report….
- Not a rule worthy
Criminal Law Professor Alf Peter Hogberg also find it problematic that the explanation will not be televised. He justifies it with the rule of law to the mass murderer.
- The fact that his testimony will not be broadcast if the complete story becomes. It should include broadcast accusations, but you can not hear the defendant himself. It is not a rule of law worthy, that’s how you do in dictatorships. And the decision of this happens at some point the court will not even have a sense of guilt. It creates an imbalance in relation to the defendant, said Hogberg.
- So you think his statement should be broadcast?
- Whether to broadcast the rest, including the charges, then one should probably it. I also mothensyn, to protect those who are victims of this. But do you make a cross with some shows and some TV broadcasts. It is shameful. Either let one be to broadcast or the broadcast everything, he said….

In Breivik issue is the main hall closed to the general public, but it’s set up a separate room on the same floor is reserved for the public.
Magistrate Geir Engebretsen said that the public who wish to follow the case from the courthouse can expect a comprehensive safety check before they are inserted. Due to lack of space also applies the principle of “first come first served.”

Newspaper publishes excerpts from notes made by Breivik in days after 7/22 attacks
Norwegian newspaper, Verdens Gang (VG), has published excerpts from detailed notes made by Anders Behring Breivik in the days after the 7/22 attacks which were subsequently confiscated and copied by the police. In the notes, Breivik documents in diary format the course of events from the time of his arrest.
Pål Abrahamsen, a professional court psychiatrist, has told VG that Breivik writes and reports like a soldier would have done, without being emotional. Abrahamsen says that he believes the diary notes will be important for the conclusions of the new court psychiatrists, Agnar Aspaas and Terje Tørrissen, as the notes indicate that Breivik understood what he was doing on 7/22.
According to Aftenposten, psychologist and author, Ellen Kolsrud Finnøy, who is currently working on a book about Breivik, is of the opinion that Breivik’s prison notes clearly show that Breivik did not suffer from psychosis at the time. “It is not possible for a person in psychosis to behave so coherently as Breivik does here,” she says.
The first psychiatric report by Torgeir Husby and Synne Sørheim concluded that Breivik was psychotic during the attacks and, hence, not legally accountable for his actions.

VG has gained insight into Breivik notes written shortly after he was arrested and subsequently seized and copied by the police. Especially the day when he was a terrorist, has 33-year-old has been very detail in their descriptions:
«18.30 – after capitulation – 6 Delta [police special forces], which was guided to my position by the heli-thermo camera. Is secured by Delta and 5 other begins search & destroy missions for other cell members. Give notice that I have not rigged myself [with explosives] and that there are no more cell-mbrs at Utøya. Give also signal to Delta that they must sucure rifle, glock, knife and spores. Delta secures me with double cuffs (metal + plastic) on the hands, back, and strips on the legs. After about 46 min in the woods with Delta (19.15), the police have established a forward positioned operating base in the white main house at Utøya and I am led into this by 1-3 interrogators + regular police take over for Delta and I am being led into the house’s 2nd floor where a total of 3 interrogators gather. 1 from Kripos + 1 from special operations + 1 other (PST?). General interrogation that lasts for 3-4 hours (22.15 to 23.15). The rest of the clothes + equipment taken away + medical examination (including patch on bleeding finger). Thereafter I am transported out in a boat (expropriated from a private citizen) and into a car on land. Thereafter the journey goes to the main jail (Greenland [downtown Oslo]). “…

- Breivik reports like a soldier
04/02/2012
- He is a soldier, and reports like a soldier would have done and does not mix in emotions. What he did, must undoubtedly have been demanding, but he apparently manages to keep distance emotionally, Abrahamsen says to VG.
The psychiatrist believes that the notes show that Breivik is able to distinguish clearly between emotions and intellect. He believes the notes are important for the conclusion of court psychiatrists Terje Tørrissen and Agnar Aspaas that deliver their report about Breivik on Tuesday 10.
- This is an authentic documentation from when it happened – and it is more important than what he said long afterward. It says something about how he was doing, and it says something about him. When he writes this, it suggests that he has been able to understand what he has done without showing emotions, says Abrahamsen….

Norwegian police still uncertain if Breivik met Milorad Ulemek in Liberia
Aftenposten and Dagbladet have both published a story provided by the Norwegian press agency, NTB, which reports that the Norwegian police have still not received a response to their request for information from Serbian police regarding several Serbian citizens that they believe Anders Behring Breivik may have met on his trip to Liberia in 2002.
According to previous statements from the police and Breivik’s lawyers, Breivik has, throughout police questioning, refused to name his contacts. The police have, however, stated that Milorad Ulemek is one of the persons they suspect Breivik refers to when he says he met a Serbian war hero in Liberia in 2002.
The recent NTB article claims that, in February, Aftenposten reported that Breivik had communicated to police that he had met Ulemek. As far as AttackOnTheLaborParty is aware, such an article was never published by Aftenposten. If it had been, this would have been in contradiciton to all other news reports and statements by the police and Breivik’s lawyers. Also, none of the other newspapers ever reported on this alleged revelation by Breivik which is surprising given how significant such a fact would be.
On February 18th, Aftenposten wrote: “The terror accused 33 year old has claimed that he met a ‘Serbian war hero’ during his visit to Liberia. They shall have become aquainted through the internet. He has never been willing to say who this [person] was.” It thus seems that NTB’s claim that Breivik has given the name of a contact to the police is incorrect as it is based on a non existing source.
Ulemek was a commander in the Serbian forces during the Kosovan War, fighting against Muslims and NATO forces in the Balkans. At the end of the war, special forces from the Norwegian military were the first NATO ground forces entering Kosovo, and among the first to enter Pristina.
Norwegian police have sent 41 requests to 26 countries in an attempt to find out about Brevik’s contacts, reportedly with limited success. The Police Security Service (the PST) recently wrote in their evaluation report that Breivik had been planning the attacks for several years and been extremely security conscious.

No Breivik-response from Serbia
March 25, 2012
Six months after the Norwegian police sent a formal legal request to Serbia with questions about the Serbs who may have met Breivik, a reply has not yet been received.
The request was sent 27 september last year, but a reply is lacking.
“We have not received [it],” says Kraby.
The police have sent a total of 41 such requests to 26 different countries to clear up eventual contacts and connections of Breivik abroad. In addition, the police is working on sending an additional two court requests, whereof one to China, according to Hjort Kraby.
Met Serbian?
The investigation abroad is important considering possible helpers. Breivik himself in his massive compendium “2083″ claimed that he took part in the founding of an international “Templar order” in London in the spring of 2002. The group was allegedly to lead the war against Muslims in Europe.
Breivik claims in the compendium that before the London meeting he met a Serbian “war hero” and “crusader” who was in hiding in the Liberian capital of Monrovia.
Aftenposten wrote in February that Breivik has informed [the police] that the person in question is Milorad “Legija” Ulemek. Ulemek is imprisoned in Serbia and is serving a sentence of 40 years in prison for the murder of Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic in March 2003.
The prosecutor for war crimes in Serbia, said already in January to the NTB that they had no indications that Milorad “Legija” Ulemek was in Liberia at any time in the late 1990s or early 2000s….

Incomplete Breivik indictment presented to the public
State’s Attorneys, Inga Bejer Engh and Svein Holden, presented the indictment of Anders Behring Breivik at a press conference in Oslo on Wednesday. Initially, the State’s Attorneys had decided to censor the document, a very unusual decision. They said they wished to keep confidential the names of the victims and details about what happened on Utøya. According to Aftenposten, after the newspaper wrote about it, the State’s Attorneys changed their view.
The Norwegian press, however, have apparently decided to censor the indictment themselves.
According to Norwegian law, prosecutors can withold indictments from the press or prohibit some of their contents from being published if the contents would pose a threat to national security, but this does not appear to be the case in this instance. According to AttackOnTheLaborParty’s sources, Norwegian journalists have been given complete copies of the indictment.
It appears that all Norwegian newspapers have removed detailed descriptions of injuries and the causes of death for those listed as killed in the indictment, and have censored the names of those individuals who were injured by the explosion or the shooting at Utøya. The degree of censoring is not uniform and it is possible to parse information from several news sources. However, since none of the newspapers have published the indictment in its entirety, some uncertainty remains as to what the original eighteen page indictment looks like.
From what has been reported by the Norwegian media, the following can be established: Breivik is charged with having comitted an act of terrorism and premeditated murder, with the intent of causing serious disruption to the functioning of the executive branch of the government. The prosecutors request that Breivik be sentenced to psychiatric care but they do say, however, that if evidence is brought forward during the trial which suggests that he is legally accountable for his actions, they may request a prison sentence.
The indictment is reportedly divided in two sections: one related to the bombing outside the Prime Minister’s office, and one for the attack on Utøya. On Utøya, all but two of the victims, who died from drowning or falling, died from being shot. The majority of the victims were shot in the head, and it appears that most victims were shot more than once.
Some individuals were shot very many times, but because of the withholding of information, the indentities of these victims remain uncertain. The Norwegian media has previously reported that several participants at the Utøya summer camp were relatives of well known Labor politicians.
Over 200 individuals who received smaller injuries from the explosion in front of the Prime Minister’s office and several governmental departments, including the Department of Justice, have been omitted from the indictment. Also, people who were directly shot at by Breivik on Utøya, but not hit, have been left out of the indictment.
It is unusual for the State’s Attorneys not to prosecute for all crimes committed when evidence is readily available, and the judgement of the State’s Attorneys in this matter has been criticized. Some victims from Utøya have stated that they feel overlooked by the court system. The State’s Attorneys have justified their decision by saying that prosecuting in a regular fashion would have required a very thorough court case in which evidence had to be presented as to whether Breivik intended to harm each person in question.
A more thorough court case could possibly have revealed more information about which governmental departments suffered the most staff injuries, and whether any politicians were injured in the Oslo explosion. Similarly, it could have made the full course of events at Utøya better known.

Psychiatric observation of Breivik in Ila Prison commences
The psychiatric observation of Anders Behring Breivik ordered by the Oslo District Court (Tingrett) commenced at Ila Prison today reports NRK. The observations will take place in a sixty square meter room on the floor above the three cells to which Breivik currently has access. According to NRK, the room contains a sofa group, a work desk, a television and a dining area. Psychiatric nurses and psychiatrists will be in the room together with Breivik observing him while he reads, writes and eats.
The Oslo District Court has decided that the observations must be completed before the end of March. NRK reports that the observations will, together with the interviews, form the basis for the psychiatric report that the new court-appointed psychiatrists have to hand over to the court at the latest on April 10th. It is currently not known for how long the psychiatrists, Agnar Aspaas and Terje Tørrisen, will find it necessary to conduct their 24-hour observations.
NRK also reports that the psychiatrists will continue their interviews with Breivik in parallel to the continuous observation of his activities.
One of Breivik’s lawyers, Vibeke Hein Bæra, told NRK that Breivik intends to read and write as he usually does. If he wishes to exercise, he will be transferred back to his cells on the floor below, and neither exercising or bathroom visits are part of the observation writes NRK. Psychiatric nurses will, however, be at Ila Prison during the night so that Breivik can be observed at night.
Aftenposten writes that yesterday Breivik’s lawyers showed him police photos of the victims from the explosion in Oslo and from the shooting at Utøya. According to Aftenposten, one of his lawyers, Odd Ivar Grøn, told the Norwegian Telegram Bureau (NTB), a Norwegian press agency, that Breivik thought the pictures were gruesome, but that he did not display any physical reaction.

Breivik’s defense lawyers will argue in court that he is accountable
Dagbladet writes that Anders Behring Breivik’s lawyers will argue in court that he was legally accountable when he carried out the 7/22 attacks. Up until now, Breivik’s defense attorneys had not publicly announced what argument they would make with regard to Breivik’s legal accountability.
“He is is firm on that he is accountable and clear on that he does not recognize himself in the description in the first [psychiatric] report. He is sure that the new psychiatrists will perceive him in a different way than the first. We have to put forth arguments [in court] in accordance to his wishes,” Lippestad, Breivik’s lawyer, said to Dagbladet.
Dagbladet also reports that, according to lawyer Tord Jordet, Breivik has set preconditions for partaking in a new series of psychiatric interviews: that the conversations be recorded and that the psychiatrists, Agnar Aspaas and Terje Tørrissen, should read all his explanations given to the police, as well as his manifest, so that they have the necessary background information.
The first court appointed psychiatrists, Torgeir Husby and Synne Sørheim, concluded that Breivik suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and that his political ideas are the result of psychosis. Breivik has, through his lawyers, stated that 80% of the conversations did not take place as described by the two psychiatrists.
Aftenposten writes that Asbjørn Rachlew, who has been leading the police questioning of Breivik, strongly encourages the two new court-appointed psychiatrists, Agnar Aspaas og Terje Tørrissen, to record the interviews.
“Listening and observation is an important part of the communication in an intverview or an interrogation. But to sit taking notes affects the listening [ability]. There is also no doubt that the one carrying out the questioning sharpens up when a recording that can be played off and analyzed afterwards, is being made,” Rachlew said to Aftensposten.
Lawyer, Tord Jordet, said to Verdens Gang (VG) that Breivik said he took arguments to their logical extreme when talking to the first court-appointed psychiatrists, and attempted to appear more extreme than he really is, and that he believes that this led to the psychiatrists’ conclusions.
According to Jordet, Breivik wished to say things that are extreme in order to move the threshold for what is perceived by society as extreme, so that what was previously considered radical would become moderate after his statements. “He says he has done this because he wished [to bring about] an ideologcal change in society,” Jordet said.

This means that Breivik can be punished for crimes he did 22 July.
“He is certain that he is sane and clear that he did not recognize themselves in the first report’s descriptions. He is confident that the new psychiatrists will see him in another way than the first,” says defender Geir Lippestad to Dagbladet….

Supreme Court rejects appeal of new psychiatric evaluation
The Norwegian Supreme Court has rejected Anders Behring Breivik’s appeal of the decision by the Oslo District Court (Tingrett) to appoint two new psychiatrists for an unusual, second pychiatric evaluation. According to Verdens Gang (VG), the Supreme Court is of the opinion that the Oslo District Court was entitled to appoint new court psychiatrists before the prosecutors had sumbitted charges against Breivik.
Via his lawyers, Breivik had earlier expressed that he did not want to partake in a second round of psychiatric questioning, and had indicated he was going to refuse to talk to the newly appointed psyhicatrists, Agnar Aspaas and Terje Tørrissen.
Breivik’s lawyer, Geir Lippestad, said to Aftenposten that, following the decision by the Supreme Court, Breivik has now decided that he will be willing to speak to the new psychiatrists on the condition that the conversations are recorded. This was not done during the first psychiatric evaluation, and since he felt the first psychiatrists misinterpreted him, he would like to have the conversations recorded as documentation for the future.
Breivik’s lawyers are now considering whether to appeal another decision by the Oslo District Court from last week that Breivik should be observed against his will during the daytime at Ila Prison for up to four weeks. Lippestad said to Aftenposten that this decision was made on the basis of Breivik refusing to collaborate with the newly appointed psychiatrists, and that situation has now changed. He said to VG that Breivik is ready to partake in interviews right away. Psychiatrist, Terje Tørrissen, said to VG that the new situation has to be discussed with the involved parties in relation to the decicion made by the Oslo District Court last week, and that the outcome of the situation probably will be established in a few days.

Swedish photographer wins World Press Photo prize for Utøya photos
Freelance photographer, Niclas Hammarström, working for the Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet, has won second prize in the Spot News category in the annual World Press Photo awards for his series of twelve photographs from Utøya. The photos were taken shortly after Anders Behring Breivik had been arrested and they document the police and rescue operations that took place on Utøya.
In one photo, the police can be seen in full protective gear cautiously turning the corner of a small building; in another, a sharp shooter is sitting in the opening of a military helicopter hovering just above the treetops. In several of the photos, Labor Youth Organization (AUF) members that have just been shot can be seen lying lifeless on the ground.
According to Aftenposten, Frode Elgesem, a lawyer who represents the Labor Youth Organisation (AUF), has sent a request to World Press Photo asking that the photos be removed from the World Press Photo website.
Trond Henry Blattmann, leader of the 7/22 support group and former political advisor for the Labor coalition government from 2009 to 2011, said to Aftenposten that he thinks it is despicable that such pictures are part of a photo competition. “I hope for God’s sake that Aftonbladet nor any other Nordic media prints them,” he said to Aftenposten.

Breivik will not be committed to Dikemark Hospital, court orders psychiatric observation inside prison
Oslo District Court (Tingrett) today decided that Anders Behring Breivik will not be committed to Dikemark Hospital for psychiatric observation. Instead, the court followed the most recent recommendation from the two newly court-appointed psychiatrists, Agnar Aspaas and Terje Tørrissen, that Breivik be observed by psychiatric health personnel inside Ila Prison.
The court has decided that the observation must be concluded before the end of March and not last longer than four weeks, a shorter time frame than previously discussed. In the decision, Judge Wenche Elizabeth Arntzen writes that a condition for the psychiatric observation is that it does not affect the defense’s ability to prepare for the upcoming trial.
NRK writes that this is the first time a Norwegian court ordered someone accused of a crime to be hospitalized inside Ila Prison rather than to be committed to a psychiatric hospital. If today’s decision by the court is effectuated, Breivik will be moved to another area of Ila Prison during the daytime where he will be accompanied by health personnel from Dikemark Hospital and the two newly appointed psychiatrists. Currently, Breivik spends time in three cells, one for computer use, one for exercising and one for sleeping.
Breivik’s lawyers told Aftenposten that in their view forced psychiatric observation at this time will interfere with Breivik’s ability to prepare for his trial, the meeting activity between Breivik and his lawyers, and the remaining police questioning.
Breivik’s lawyers have appealed the court’s decision to carry out a second round of psychiatric evaluation, and a decision is expected next week.

He and lawyer Tor Jordet sits next Breivik at the police station in Grønland. They say that 32-year-old is disappointed with the decision.

The trial is scheduled for 16 April.

Breivik forced committed in Ila

An observation on the Ila has never happened before and will be characterized by improvisation. At what level of the professionals from Dikemark will communicate with Dikemark has not yet been clarified.
Today, even Breivik defenders meet his client behind a glass wall in the prison….
Common practice for compulsory observation is to move the patient to the closed ward of a psychiatric hospital. The observation takes place 24 hours a day for a period of maximum four weeks and is usually not performed by the experts themselves.
The purpose of a hospitalization, the patient must have a qualified management team around him, which compiles records and environmental reports to the committee later access.
According to the Psychologist Specialist Paul Grondahl is the main point of an observation force to see the patient in interaction with others.
“In principle, a person who is under observation forced to participate in activities and routines so that other patients in the hospital. The goal is to see how the person behaves and acts in interaction with other people, Grøndahl previously stated to NRK.”

Police questioning resumes, Breivik denies having made threathening phone call
Police questioning of Anders Behring Breivik resumed on Wednesday. The police have not provided a new letter guaranteeing Breivik access to a computer for the duration of his imprisonment, but Breivik has agreed to continue answering questions from the police because he expects that they will follow up on what he perceives an an oral agreement, said Odd Ivar Grøn, one of Breivik’s lawyers, to Aftenposten. He also believes it is important that he explains himself, according to Grøn.
Aftenposten reports that, when confronted with details of the contents of the reported phone threat towards Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and other senior Labor Party politicians in March 2011 in which a male caller mentioned a manifest and shooting AUF members, Breivik denied being the caller. He has previously acknowledged calling the governmental offices at some point, but has said he does not recall the details of this call, and had thus not clarified for the police whether he might have been the March caller.
Grøn told Aftenposten that, after having been given more details of the contents of the reported phone threat, Breivik denied that he made this specific call. Grøn said that Breivik seemed very certain about this. He also said that Breivik does not recall what he said when he did call the governmental offices, but that there is no connection between Breivik’s call and the reported phone threat in March.
Breivik’s main lawyer, Geir Lippestad, previously criticized the police for not investigating the reported phone threat thoroughly as finding out who the caller was could help establish whether someone other than Breivik knew about the plans. Up until now, governmental staff have been searching though the thousands of voice recordings from the time period in question, but the police have now taken possession of the hard drive that contains the voice recordings.

In a new interview on Wednesday, Breivik said that he is not behind this particular conversation that should have taken place four months before the terrorist attack.
“He have been given more clarity as to the contents of the particular call and he says it was not he who called this. He seems very sure of this,” says attorney Odd Ivar Grøn to NTB.
“He does not remember what he said when he called, but it should not be any connection between his call and the particular threat conversation,” he said….

Breivik considered attacking the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), Aftenposten and VG
The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) writes that, during the planning phase of the 7/22 attacks, Breivik reconnoitered around the NRK offices at Marienlyst in Oslo. In police questioning, Breivik explained that the media company and its journalists were highly prioritized targets.
According to NRK, before Breivik decided to attack the governmental offices and the Labor Youth Organization (AUF) camp at Utøya, he considered attacking the state owned media company, NRK. In addition he considered the Norwegian newpapers, Aftenposten and Verdens Gang (VG), as possible targets.
Breivik says he thought of the NRK offices at Marienlyst as a “bonus” operation. Through his reconnoitering, he established the location of the entrance for the political and foreign sections. Breivik thought about the possibility of delivering two bombs weighing between 50 to 60 kilograms (110-130 pounds) while disguised as a Federal Express worker, but concluded that since he had little knowledge of the layout of the NRK buildings, it was unlikely that he would succeed in killing more than fifteen people. He decided that Utøya was a more suitable target since the water surrounding the island would make it a death trap.
NRK also writes that, according to police questioning, Breivik has said that he considered also attacking Aftenposten and VG after setting off the bomb, but he rejected the idea as he thought it would prevent him from reaching Utøya afterwards.
NRK is Norway’s state-owned media house and had an exclusive monopoly on nation-wide television broadcasting until 1992 when TV2 was established. Several NRK leaders have been former Labor Party politicians, for example Bjartmar Gjerde and Einar Førde who held the leadership position consecutively from 1981 to 2001. Many Norwegians are of the opinion that NRK has a socialist-leftist bias in its news reporting and program selection.

When chief editor of Aftenposten, Hilde Haugsgjerd, answered questions from readers on September 4, 2009, a person with the signature “Anders B” asked her the following two questions:
“What do you think about Norway joining the ranks of countries that no longer have any major cultural conservative newspapers (newspapers critical of multiculturalism)?”
“What is the reason that Aftenposten, after 1972, gradually began to support multiculturalism (Cultural Marxism) and, therefore, in effect no longer continued to be a culture conservative media alternative? Was is because of pressure from the Labor-movement?”
Aftenposten used to be a conservative newspaper. Today’s chief-editor, Hilde Haugsgjerd, was politically active in her youth in the very left-wing Red Electoral Alliance.

TV2 writes that, according to police investigation documents, Breivik called Norwegian media companies several times complaining that certain news stories were not reported. For example, during the 2009 riots in Gothenburg, Sweden, in which many cars were set on fire by immigrant youths, Breivik called both NRK and TV2 asking why there was no coverage of this news. Breivik has explained to the police that he was told that the riots were not newsworthy.
According to TV2, Breivik was also of the opinion that similar riots by immigrant youths in France received too little coverage by the Norwegian media. Further from TV2, Breivik thought the Gothenburg riots were not mentioned on Norwegian news because of the upcoming election since the riots in Sweden might result in increased support for the Progress Party (FRP) which has a more restrictive view on immigration.

Court orders new psychiatric evaluation of Breivik
The Oslo District Court (Tingrett) announced yesterday that it has requested psychiatrists, Agnar Aspaas and Terje Tørrisen, to conduct a new psychiatric evaluation of Anders Behring Breivik. This is a highly unusual decision for the court to make since the Court Medical Commission, which is responsible for quality checking all court-requested psychiatric reports, approved the original report unanimously without any comments. However, the Oslo District Court considers that, following the substantial critique of the conclusion of the inititial report by many psychiatric professionals, and in light of the severity and special character of the case, further inquiry into the question regarding Brevik’s legal accountability is justified.
The new psychiatrists have a different mandate than those writing the initial report. Aspaas og Tørrisen have been asked by the court to investigate, among other things, alternative physical or psychological conditions that may explain Behring Breivik’s actions, and to consider the connection between his manifesto and his actions. These are the two elements lacking in the intial report that have received the most criticism over the last few weeks.

She and associate judge Arne Lyng has noted the criticism of the report is reproduced in the media, drawing specifically states that those who have studied Breivik in Ila prison believes he is not psychotic.
“These circumstances suggest to let independent experts conduct a new investigation of the accused’s sanity based on the total evidence,” according to their justification….

Another one of his lawyers, Tord Jordet, says Behring Brevik believes the appointed psychiatrists lack understanding of the political analysis required to evaluate whether someone accused of an act of terror is suffering from delusions. Breivik has stated that he believes that 80% of the first report was based on lies and twisting of his words; therefore, he does not wish to speak to the newly appointed psychiatrists, Jordet says.
According to Aftenposten, Breivik has previously expressed that he does not have confidence in the court system. Behring Breivik has asked his lawyers to look into possible conflicts of interest of the two newly appointed psychiatrists, and the possibility of Breivik appealing the new court appointments is being considered by the defense team.
