Breivik receives letters of support and encouragement

Anders Behring Breivik has received letters of support and encouragement reports Norwegian newspaper, Verdens Gang (VG). Breivik is held in a high-security section of Ila Prison and all correspondence is read by prison personnel. VG has gained access to copies of some of the letters and has published anonymized excerpts.

One Norwegian citizen currently living in Lithuania wrote: “The Polish guy probably will probably fix a helicopter in the large excercize enclosure in a couple of years when things have calmed down and Brazil for you!” The writer also states that he met Breivik in a pub in Oslo in 2002.

Another letter Breivik received over Christmas contained only six blank pages numbered with Roman numerals one to six (I-VI).

VG also writes that Breivik has reportedly received two undated letters from a pseudonymous author calling himself “The Architect”:

“Hi Anders! Thank you for a well conducted operation, but it is of course sad that you are where you are now. The whole group greets you and thank you for the strike against the communist rule”. The letter also contained a brief note to the police: “Letter and envelope are free from fingerprints and DNA. We are not stupid.”

From the second letter:

“Hi Anders. Here is a small greeting from the group. Both you and we know you are not psychotic, but a fully aware person that sacrified yourself for the cause. We will always stand by you and you shall not lack anything.”

At the bottom of the page is written: “With Norwegian combat greeting. The Architect.”

In two other undated letters from a group calling itself “The Architect” Breivik is praised for the terror attacks on 22 July:

“Hi Anders! Thanks for the well conducted operation, but it is of course sad that you are where you are now. The whole group greets you and thank you for the strike against the communist rule”, the sender writes.

In addition, it is claimed that the mass murderer will never be lacking anything.

The stamp shall have been from Norway, but was unreadable. The sender shall have taken care [not] leaving fingerprints and DNA, something the person also made the police aware of. “Letter and envelope are free of fingerprints and DNA. We are not stupid.”

In the second letter from the unknown group there was only one A4 sheet.

“Hi Anders. Here is a small greeeting from the group. Both you and we know that you are not psychotic, but a fully aware person who sacrificed yourself for the cause. We will always stand with you and you shall not be lacking anything.”

At the bottom of the page it says.

“With Norwegian combat greeting. The Architect.”…

Several have also responded directly to requests from the terror suspect 33-year-old, said the lawyer told NRK.

“He is primarily concerned with writing letters to what he defines as like-minded, and that shares his ideology. He receives many letters in prison, both from like-mind and other types of inquiries. They [the letter writers] do not support [his] actions, but there are many [of them] who share his ideology. Some of these people have written back to him,” said Bæra.

She does not rule out that some of the people Breivik have contact with may be relevant as witnesses at trial….

Police Attorney Pål-Fredrik Hjort Kraby in the Oslo Police Department say he does not want to comment.

“It is so detailed that I can not comment on it in the interests of the investigation,” he told VG.

He says police are still working to review Breivik’s computer and several hard drives.

VG has been in contact with the woman. When asked if she could answer questions about her mobile broadband she answered briefly, “I can not say anything.”
