Luxury prison conditions

Moaning Breivik gets two guinea pigs

Anders Breivik killed eight people with a bomb in Oslo's government district in 2011 and then shot a further 69 people on the island of Utöya for far-right motives. But instead of serving his prison sentence with remorse, he complains about the "inhumane" treatment.

The 45-year-old repeatedly complained about his prison conditions and even sued the Norwegian state in order to obtain improvements. In February, Breivik failed with a lawsuit in this regard. On Monday, a court in Oslo will hear an appeal lodged by Breivik.

Breivik had accused the Norwegian state of "inhumane" and "degrading" treatment. This is despite the fact that the 45-year-old has three private rooms at his disposal.

The rooms are also equipped with a flat-screen TV and a games console. The prison had fulfilled Breivik's wish for pets by acquiring three budgerigars. However, the budgies, which Breivik said were at the bottom of the list of pets he wanted, have now been replaced by two guinea pigs.

Photos published on Thursday by the Norwegian news agency NTB show the two animals as well as photos of fjords and mountains pasted on some of the walls.

Breivik was sentenced in 2012 to 21 years in prison followed by preventive detention. On Wednesday, a court rejected Breivik's application for early release on parole.
