Mass killer Anders Breivik is to be moved to Skien prison, which has one of Norway’s most liberal regimes, local media reported.
Breivik has long requested a transfer back to Skien, where he stayed while his quarters at Oslo’s Ila prison were under construction.
He complained that his isolation at Ila amounted to torture.
Prison authorities said the decision was taken in June and had nothing to do with Breivik’s petitioning.
Jan Erik Sandlie, deputy director of Norway’s probation service, said prisoners are sometimes “moved between different institutions.”
It is not clear when Breivik will be moved. – RT
