Poll: Put Breivik in prison, not asylum

Seventy-five percent of Norwegians want Anders Behring Breivik sent to prison instead of a mental health facility for killing 77 people, a poll indicates. The poll, conducted by research firm Norstat for Norwegian Broadcasting, found a vast majority of Norwegians do not believe Breivik is insane and think he is mentally healthy enough to go to prison, Norwegian News and Views reported Friday. Ten 10 percent of respondents said Breivik should be sent to a psychiatric facility. There was no information on when the poll was conducted, how many people were polled or the margin of error. The results of the poll came as Breivik's 10-week trial for the July 22, 2011, Utoya Island and Oslo attacks neared an end. Closing arguments were to conclude Friday. Breivik himself wants to be declared sane and held accountable for the massacre. He has presented himself as a right-wing anti-Islamic terrorist who opposed Norway's Labor Party-led government for allowing immigration. He said he fears Norway and Europe will be "taken over" by Muslims. It will be up to the judicial panel hearing his case to decide if Breivik is insane.
