Shocking: This Man killed 77 people to get admission to University

A Norwegian terrorist, Anders Behring Breivik, has been admitted to study political science at the University of Oslo, Norway.

Breivik, who allegedly killed 77 people in a 2011 rampage, hopes to study for a bachelor’s degree focusing on democracy and human rights from behind bars.

Marina Tofting, a spokesperson of the university, told AFP that the convict qualified for the programme and was thus admitted.

“He got a place here. He meets the criteria,” Tofting said.

Reports have it that in July 2011, the 36-year-old killed 77 people, in two attacks in his one-man war against multiculturalism and a “Muslim invasion”.

It was gathered that Breivik’s killing spree bagan on July 22, 2011 with a bomb blast strike near government buildings in Oslo in which eight people died after which he attacked a youth camp on the island of Utoya and killed 69 people.

However, a political science professor, Dag Harald Claes, has said that Brevik’s 21-year prison sentence means he is unlikely to be awarded a degree eventually because five out of the nine courses he is expected to study require him to attend university seminars in person.

Claes told AFP, “He can’t pass these courses until his detention regime is eased or if he is eventually released one day.”

Lisbeth Kristine Royneland, a relative of the victims’ families, told AFP that “he is able to study” but said all that matters is that he remains behind bars.”
