Anders Behring Breivik, Norway murderer, wins human rights case - BBC News

The thing that I don't get (other than how a man who killed eight people with a car bomb then went on to kill 69 young people at a summer camp and who does a Nazi salute every time he goes into court could have any human rights at all) is how he made a complaint under the European Convention on Human Rights when Norway isn't even a member of the European Union.

Does that mean that if we leave the EU we will still be restricted by the regulations we've agreed while we've been a member? For me, that's one of the main arguments to leave, so we can define our own rules and regulations.

Norway are a member of the "Council of Europe" as are Russia.

Do not confuse "Europe" with "The EU".

The ECHR is not part of the EU. It a separate thing based on the Council of Europe. Norway is part of the Council of Europe.

BREXIT will have no effect on ECHR.

A good question.

It sticks in my gut to say it, but I do think he should not be mistreated. You can judge a society by how the vulnerable are treated. Make an exception and you are on a slippery slope.

I would quickly change my mind if I was related to a victim....

Both the left and extreme right win with this verdict.
the left can show how liberal they are
the extreme right are happy as their hero got what he wants
