Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik accuses the Norwegian government of breaching two clauses of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). One of the clauses guarantees the right to respect for "private and family life" and "correspondence", while the other prohibits "inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment", BBC reports.

According to the source, Breivik claimed  that the state has tried to kill him with five years of solitary confinement and that his jail conditions break human rights law. He then added that it would have been more humane to shoot him than treat him like an animal for the past five years.

Breivik complained of being completely "gagged" by the authorities and of developing "isolation headache", which had affected his health and concentration.

Among Breivik's objections  presented at the testimony were: the use of plastic cups and paper plates, having to eat microwaved meals, such as those made by Norwegian firm Fjordland, Cold coffee, being denied the right to meet fellow Nazi friends and marry one, being prevented from publishing two books.

Last September, Breivik threatened to starve himself to death in protest at his treatment in prison.

To remind, Breivik murdered 77 people in twin attacks in July 2011. He carried out a bombing in central Oslo before driving to the island of Utoeya, where he opened fire on children at a Labour party youth camp.
