Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik has won part of his human rights case against the Norwegian state.
The court upheld his claim that some of his treatment amounted to “inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”.
The right “represents a fundamental value in a democratic society” and also applied to “terrorists and killers,” judge Helen Andenaes Sekulic said.
Breivik, a right-wing extremist, killed dozens of centre-left young activists in an attack in July 2011.
Earlier that day, he set off a car bomb in the capital in Oslo, killing eight people.
