According to the law, there is a high risk that Breivik will re-commit violent crimes when he is released.
“Given his mental state, there is an obvious risk that he will collapse into behavior similar to that which led to the terrorist attacks on July 22, 2011,” the court said, according to VG.
Breivik killed 77 people in the 2011 terrorist attacks in central Oslo and on the island of Utöya.
