Capital punishment in Norway (Norwegian: dødsstraff) was abolished in 1979. The penal code/the criminal law of 1902, in force from 1905, abolished capital punishment in peacetime. Military capital punishment was abolished in 1979.[1] The last execution in peacetime was carried out on 25 February 1876, when Kristoffer Nilsen Grindalen was beheaded in Løten.[2] Several persons, mainly Norwegians and Germans, were executed after the Second World War and the years of Nazi occupation, among them Vidkun Quisling.
Opinion polls have showed that about 1 in 4 Norwegians support the death penalty (...) An opinion poll taken after the 2011 Norway attacks showed that the opposition to the death penalty remained firmly entrenched, with 16 percent supporting and 68 percent opposed (Wikipedia)
Norway is one of the most peaceful countries in the world and nothing even remotely close to these 2011 attacks has ever happened here in peace time, at least in modern times.
As I have said before, there is no way in hell Breivik is ever being released into society again. His sentence will be extended as long as he is alive.
