Survival represents victory against Breivik, victim tells court

Breivik has been charged with committing terrorist acts when he first bombed a government building in Oslo, killing eight people, before shooting dead another 69 in the July 22 rampage on Utoeya, where the ruling Labour Party’s youth wing was hosting a summer camp.

Most of the victims there were in their teens, the youngest having just celebrated her 14th birthday.

Breivik has confessed to the acts but has refused to plead guilty, insisting they were “cruel but necessary” to stop the Labour Party’s “multicultural experiment” and the “Muslim invasion” of Norway and other European countries.

While Breivik will surely be found guilty, his 10-week trial will help determine the tricky question of his sanity and whether he will be sent to prison or to a mental institution.

Two court-ordered evaluations have reached opposite conclusions, and it will be up to the five-judge panel to rule on the issue when they hand down their verdict in mid-July.
