Mass murderer Breivik appeals for games upgrade in jail, threatens hunger strike

Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik has reportedly threatened to go on hunger strike unless he is given better video games in jail, along with a number of other demands.

A list of 12 demands sent to prison authorities include doubling his weekly allowance from 300 kroner (€36) to cover postage costs, and a Sony Playstation 3, rather than his current PS2.

He also wants an end to daily searches and access to a PC rather than to a "worthless typewriter with technology dating back to 1873".

The 35 year-old described as "torture"-like his living conditions, in the high-security unit in Skien in southeast Norway where he serving out a 21-year sentence.

Breivik killed 77 people in 2011 - eight of them in a bomb attack outside a government building in Oslo and a further 69, most of them teenagers, when he opened fire at a Labour Youth camp on the island of Utoeya.
