Man who killed 77 people complains about awful prison food, compares meals to waterboarding
Mass killer Anders Behring Breivik raises his arm in a Nazi salute as he enters the gym-turned-courtroom in Skien prison, south-west of Oslo on Tuesday

Mass killer Anders Behring Breivik has told a court that Norway was trying to kill him with years of solitary confinement, complaining of degrading prison conditions, including microwaved meals that were "worse than waterboarding”.

Only his commitment to the Nazi creed had sustained him, said the man who murdered 77 people in a bombing and shooting rampage in 2011 and is now accusing the state of violating his human rights. The govement denies the charges.

In a long statement at the hearing in his prison"s gym on Wednesday, Breivik said he found regular strip searches "bothersome and offensive”, felt isolated without visitors and grumbled about cold coffee and plastic cutlery.
