Former Secretary General of the ICDE (Int. Council for Open & Distance Education) calls for Review of Prosecution's Focus on Political Psychiatry Trial instead of Political Treason Trial
Reidar Roll was the Secretary General for the ICDE for 20 years. He is currently an International Consultant in Oslo and blogs at Minervas. He is not impressed with the Norwegian State Attorney's strategy of focussing on a Political Psychiatry Trial; instead of a Political Terror Treason Trial; which he says is “dangerously close to using Soviet methods to supress political ideas that are seen to be dangerous to the social democratic order in Norway.”
“The trial in Oslo District Court against Norwegian terrorist and mass killer Anders Behring Breivil is drawing to a close.”
“The man is not insane. We drew this conclusion already in April after two days in court.”
“It is time to review the performance of the prosecution. They have failed to understand or admit that they are dealing with a political case, and not a case of insanity.”
“Breivil attacked the Norwegian Labour Party, blaming them for destroying Norway by permtting unchecked muslim immigration. A huge number of Norwegians share that opinion.”
“From the very beginning the prosecution had to understand that they deal with a political terror attack on the Labour party. Not on Norway. On the Labour Party. The distinction seems to be important to understand.”
Former ICDE SecGen: Review Prosecution's Focus on Stalinesque Political Psychiatry Trial, instead of Political Terror Treason Trial
Breivik Case and the Use of Soviet Phychiatric Hospitals as Methods for Discrediting Political Ideas
The trial in Oslo District Court against Norwegian terrorist and mass killer Anders Behring Breivil is drawing to a close.
The man is not insane. We drew this conclusion already in April after two days in court.
It is time to review the performance of the prosecution. They have failed to understand or admit that they are dealing with a political case, and not a case of insanity.
Breivil attacked the Norwegian Labour Party, blaming them for destroying Norway by permtting unchecked muslim immigration. A huge number of Norwegians share that opinion.
From the very beginning the prosecution had to understand that they deal with a political terror attack on the Labour party. Not on Norway. On the Labour Party. The distinction seems to be important to understand.
The prosecution have spent an amazing amount of time trying to assert that Breivik’s Knights Templar network does not exist. The Knights Templar were an order who, during the Crusades fought against the muslims. The political symbolism for Breivik in that name is rather clear, also that he engages in political propaganda.
Mr Breivik’s political fight is likely to continue from jail. He will want to see such networks as the Knights Templar develop, prosper, and take action against the immigration of Islam into Europe through violence. These ideas will not go away by forcing mental illness on the ideas. which is what the prosecution seems to be doing.
Soviet psychiatric hospitals known as "psikhushkas" were used by the Soviet authorities as prisons in order to isolate hundreds or thousands of political prisoners from the rest of society, discredit their ideas, and break them physically and mentally.
The Norwegian state attorney strategy does not impress us. They are dangerously close to using Soviet methods to supress political ideas that are seen to be dangerous to the social democratic order in Norway.
