The rights of mass murderer Anders Bering Breivik have not been violated by his treatment in a Norwegian prison, an appeals court ruled Wednesday, March 1. The ruling overturns a lower court decision that had said Breivik was being kept in inhumane conditions. Breivik had argued in court that being kept in solitary confinement for up to 23 hours a day breached his human rights, but the appeals court disagreed, saying he "is not, and has not, been subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment." The right-wing extremist killed 77 people in and around Oslo in July 2011.
