Oslo - Anders Behring Breivik carried out terrorist attacks in Oslo and on the island of Utøya , killing 77 people. A court is now examining the perpetrator's renewed application for early release.

More than 13 years after the right-wing extremist terrorist attacks in Oslo's government district and on the island of Utøya, which left a total of 77 dead, the district court of Ringerike, Asker and Bærum is dealing with a corresponding application by Breivik.

The hearing in Ringerike prison northwest of Oslo begins at 10.00 a.m. on Tuesday. A total of three trial days are scheduled until Thursday.

On July 22, 2011, Breivik committed the most serious crimes of the Norwegian post-war period to date: First, he detonated a car bomb in Oslo's government district, killing eight people.

He then carried out a massacre on Utøya among the participants of the annual summer camp of the youth organization of the Social Democratic Labour Party. 69 mainly young people were killed on the island.

At the beginning of 2022, after this minimum term had expired, he had it reviewed whether he could be released on parole. The Telemark district court, which had jurisdiction at the time, rejected the application after a hearing lasting several days.
