Anders Breivik, sentenced to 21 years in prison for the 2011 murder of 77 people in Norway, showed up at the court hearing his parole application with the letters Z shaved on his head.
Breivik also brought a homemade poster that read, among other things, support for China, Russia, Iran and North Korea.
Breivik’s parole petition, which the court is considering, was filed in June 2024. This is not his first attempt to get out of prison early. Breivik’s previous request for parole was rejected by the court in February 2022. At that time, Breivik also brought a poster with nationalist slogans to the court hearing and threw his hand up in a Nazi salute.
On July 22, 2011, Breivik detonated a bomb in Oslo’s government quarter and then shot and killed 77 people at a youth camp on Utoya Island. More than 150 people were injured at the time. At his trial, Breivik confessed to his crimes but refused to repent.
