Remember Anders Behring? He was sentenced for 21 years for his terrorist attack in 2011. I find it hard to believe a country that has the most humane prison system in the world would extradite Snowden back the the US...
- nickkthequick 10y agoSeems tough to bet your life on that bit of logic
- c_c_c 10y agoIt's Anders Behring Breivik. Also, Norway has an extradition treaty with the United States since the 80s. Not to be harsh (really), but it doesn't matter what you believe. Edit: Breivik will never be released btw. Also, court found yesterday that elements of his incarceration violated Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

- Ueland 10y agoHe is de facto sentenced to life in prison. And Snowden is a US citizen and will be extradited. Unless the this case the thread is about gives him a win.
- marvin 10y agoThe Norwegian government is too entangled with US interests, due to our defense doctrine and role in NATO ("hold out for 24 hours while the rest of NATO mobilizes"). Although many Norwegian politicians probably have personal sympathies for Snowden's legal situation, it's very doubtful that anything short of a Supreme Court ruling would prevent Norwegian authorities of cooperating with the US when it comes to arresting and extraditing Snowden.
- toyg 10y ago> it's very doubtful that anything short of a Supreme Court ruling would prevent Norwegian authorities Considering how international laws are now completely ignored by our imperial masters (see Abu Omar, rendition flights, the raid on Kim Dotcom, etc etc), I would say it's very doubtful anything short of a couple of panzer divisions would prevent any US-friendly authorities from helping out.
