65-year-old man sentenced to 60 days in prison for violence against Workers’ Youth League member

A 65-year-old man has been sentenced to 60 days in prison for violence against a Workers' Youth League (AUF) member outside the Student Society (Samfundet) in Trondheim after a party leader debate in September.

The 65-year-old was convicted of several cases of violence and reckless behavior on Thursday, the newspaper Adresseavisenwrites.

Among other things, he has been convicted of attacking 20-year-old AUF member Mathias Solli after the party leader debate in Trondheim in September. 

The man allegedly shouted, “Breivik was right. You must all die,” during the incident.

When the case went to court, the man denied attacking Solli and shouting statements of support for the Utøya terrorist.
