Mass murderer Anders Bering Breivik saluted today (Tuesday) with a Nazi handshake when he arrived in court for a hearing on where it will be decided whether he should be released after spending more than a decade behind bars.

Far-right man murdered in July 2011 77 people in the most serious massacre Norway has known in peacetime.

Eight were killed in a car bomb blast he left in Oslo and then he killed another 69 people, mostly teenagers, at a Labor party youth camp.

With his head shaved and wearing a dark suit, Breivik made a gesture with his fingers to mark his support for the superiority of the white race and then raised his right arm with a raised hand as he entered the court.

It also carried signs, printed in English, including one that read "Stop your genocide against our white nations" and "Nazi Civil War."
