Breivik gives Nazi salute in court return to challenge jail isolation

NORWAY – Jailed Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik has given a Nazi salute upon returning to court to argue that his isolation violates his rights. The right-wing extremist compared his imprisonment to “torture” but the state says he is being treated fairly. Breivik killed 77 people in 2011 when he bombed central Oslo before going on a shooting spree at a Labor Youth camp on the island of Utoya. He was sentenced to 21 years in prison in 2012. Tuesday’s hearing marks his first public appearance since then. He entered the court shortly before 09:00. He shook hands with his lawyers and made the Nazi salute after police removed his handcuffs.
