Oslo Tingrett - TOSLO-2011-188627-18 Instans Oslo Tingrett - Beslutning Utskrift fra Lovdata - 10.03.2015 10:47 Oslo tingrett - TOSLO-2011-188627-18 Instans Oslo tingrett - Beslutning. Dato 2012-05-29 Publisert TOSLO-2011-188627-18 Stikkord 22. juli-saken. Straffeprosessloven § 93c annet ledd, domstolloven § 131a første ledd. Sammendrag Beslutning om omgjøring av presse og publikums adgang til overføringssalene. Saksgang Oslo tingrett TOSLO-2011-188627-18 (11-188627MED- OTIR/05). Parter Den offentlige påtalemyndighet (statsadvokat Svein Holden, statsadvokat Inga Bejer Engh) mot A (advokat Geir Lippestad, advokat Vibeke Hein Bæra, advokat Tord Eskild Kvinge Jordet, advokatfullmektig Odd Ivar Aursnes Grøn). Forfatter Tingrettsdommer Wenche Elizabeth Arntzen, tingrettsdommer Arne Lyng. Meddommere: Ernst Henning Eielsen, Diana Patricia Fynbo, Anne Elisabeth Wisløff. Retten fattet den 30. mars 2012 (TOSLO-2011-188627-5) beslutning om overføring av hovedforhandlingen til tilstøtende saler i Oslo tingrett, Grand hotell i Oslo samt tingrettene i Nord-Troms, Salten tingrett, Alta, Inn- Trøndelag, Sør-Trøndelag, Sunnmøre, Bergen, Haugaland, Jæren, Kristiansand, Nedre Telemark, Tønsberg, Drammen, Ringerike, Fredrikstad, Nordmøre og Hedemarken. Samme dag fattet retten en generell beslutning om at presse og publikum ikke har adgang til disse overføringslokalene, men at de følger saken fra egne lokaler. Retten la til grunn at det er fare for at fornærmede og etterlatte blir fortrengt dersom overføringslokalene åpnes for presse og publikum. Den 18. april (TOSLO-2011-188627-12) omgjorde retten beslutningen, slik at overføringslokalene utenfor Oslo ble åpnet for presse og publikum under behandlingen av bombeeksplosjonen i regjeringskvartalet (24. til 30. april). Retten viste til at det i denne perioden var grunn til å tro at det ville være ledige plasser i disse lokalene. Overføringslokalene ble igjen stengt for presse og publikum den 2. mai. De fornærmede og etterlatte ble samtidig tilbudt å ha med ytterligere ledsagere så fremt det var ledige plasser. Kapasitetsoversikter fra overføringslokalene utenfor Oslo viser at det gjennomgående har vært ledige plasser i tiden etter 2. mai. Retten mener det ikke er grunn til å tro at dette vil endre seg senere i hovedforhandlingen. Det innebærer at det vil være ledige plasser i disse lokalene; det er dermed ikke fare for at fornærmede og etterlatte blir fortrengt fra sin rett til å følge forhandlingene, selv om presse og publikum gis adgang. I Oslo stiller dette seg annerledes, idet alle fornærmede og etterlatte gis tilbud om å følge deler av forhandlingene fra en overføringssal 2. etasje i Oslo tinghus. Det innebærer at disse overføringslokalene er på det nærmeste fulle. Det vil derfor være fare for fortrenging av fornærmede og etterlatte, dersom disse åpnes. Retten beslutter etter dette å omgjøre beslutningen av 30. mars 2012 (TOSLO-2011-188627-5), slik at presse og publikum gis adgang til overføringslokalene utenfor Oslo.

    JUDGMENT given 18 October 2019 by the Supreme Court composed of Justice Magnus Matningsdal Justice Wilhelm Matheson Justice Ragnhild Noer Justice Wenche Elizabeth Arntzen Justice Kine Steinsvik HR-2019-1929-A (sak nr. 19-029021SIV-HRET) Appeal against Gulating Court of Appeal’s judgment 2 January 2019 Propiedades Rott SL (Counsel Leif Inge Håland) v. Trond Lie Nilsen (Counsel Finn Eide) (1) Justice Arntzen: The case concerns financial settlement after the cancellation of an agreement for purchase of a flat in Spain. (2) In the spring 2014, Trond Lie Nilsen entered into an agreement with Propiedades Rott SL (hereafter referred to as Propiedades) for purchase of a flat in a planned building project in Villajoyosa, Spain. Propiedades is a company registered in Spain engaging in property development directed to the Norwegian market, among others. Ninety percent of the shares in the company are owned by Valor AS, which in turn is owned by the Norwegian Terje Rott and his family who have residence in Norway. Nilsen is a Norwegian citizen with residence in Norway. He bought the flat for private use. (3) On 7 March 2014, the parties signed a “binding purchase confirmation”. The purchase confirmation was written in Norwegian and signed in Norway. The purchase price was EUR 660 000 with the addition of 10 percent Spanish VAT (IVA). Upon signing, Nilsen transferred a “deposit” of EUR 11 000 to the seller’s Spanish bank account. (4) The agreement was revised twice in 2015, latest by a “binding purchase agreement” signed 25 September 2015 in Spain. The seller’s deadline for having the flat ready for takeover was set to 1 June 2016.

  • Christian Terror in Europe? the Bible in Anders Behring Breivik's Manifesto
    J Bible Recept 2017; 4(1): 147–169 Hannah Strømmen* Christian Terror in Europe? The Bible in Anders Behring Breivik’s Manifesto DOI 10.1515/jbr-2017-2006 Abstract: In the attempts to understand the ideology underpinning the terror attack in Norway 22nd July 2011, and the growth of far-right extremism in Europe more generally, Christianity and the uses of the Bible are a largely neglected feature. In this article, I examine the way in which the Bible is used in Anders Behring Breivik’s manifesto, arguing that this provides an important example of the role of Christianity in far-right discourse. I show that the Bible functions as a legitimating device, glossing violence as defense of a Christian Europe; as a motivational instrument, positing God as a fellow fighter; and, as an origin for Europe. The Bible is situated in a pre-modern state where its signifying powers are policed. At the same time, it is wrenched out of this solidified framework, cut up and pasted into the manifesto hypertext in order to serve as a contemporary ally to an anti-Muslim and anti-multicultural cause. Keywords: Terror; Bible; Christianity; far right; Breivik; Europe. 1 Introduction On 22nd July 2011, Anders Behring Breivik dressed in a fake police uniform, drove to the Government Headquarters (the government office buildings), in Oslo (Regjeringskvartalet) and planted a bomb, which detonated shortly thereafter. He then gained entry to the island of Utøya, where the Norwegian Labour party’s youth organization [Arbeidernes Ungdomsfylking (AUF)] held their annual political summer camp, and shot indiscriminately at the young people there.

  • One of Us: the Story of a Massacre and Its Aftermath Free
    FREE ONE OF US: THE STORY OF A MASSACRE AND ITS AFTERMATH PDF Asne Seierstad,Sarah Death | 544 pages | 03 May 2015 | Little, Brown Book Group | 9781844089208 | English | London, United Kingdom One of Us: The Story of Anders Breivik and the Massacre in Norway - Åsne Seierstad - Google книги It is a ghastly story of family dysfunction, professional and sexual failure, grotesque narcissism and the temptation of apocalyptic delusions. Breivik grew up in an expensive area in Oslo. But his home life must have been miserable from the start. His father, a diplomat, disappeared more or less completely from his life. And One of Us: The Story of a Massacre and its Aftermath mother was a depressive, self-destructive woman who thought of sending her boy and his sister to an orphanage. Attempts to join groups or make friends almost always ended in humiliation. He made up for his social failures by dreaming of personal grandeur. He did have one childhood friend, called Ahmed, the son of Pakistani immigrants. Norwegian kids laughed at these pretensions; Ahmed moved away. After finishing high school, Breivik tried various schemes to make One of Us: The Story of a Massacre and its Aftermath money, such as selling advertising space by telephone, and failed. He later succeeded for a while by peddling fake university diplomas on the internet, but this too ran into the sand when he was in danger of being exposed. At one point, joining the Freemasons seemed an attractive way to cut a figure in a secret society, but after being introduced to a lodge by a relative, Breivik got bored and never attended.
