Press Complaints Commission Halton House 20/23 Holborn London EC1N 2JD Email: complaints@pcc.org.uk ReaderEd: Chris Elliott The Guardian Kings Place, 90 York Way London N1 9GU Chris Elliott (reader@guardian.co.uk) Dear PCC,

Complaint against The Guardian: Sindre Bangstad: Article: After Anders Breivik's conviction, Norway must confront Islamophobia. This complaint refers to a violation of Editors Code. 1. Accuracy, and relates to the following statements made by Mr. Bangstad in his article: After Anders Breivik's conviction, Norway must confront Islamophobia1: After Anders Breivik's conviction, Norway must confront Islamophobia The far right can no longer deny Brevik was inspired by their ideals. Negative attitudes towards Muslims must be challenged. After a national trauma, the verdict presents us with the opportunity to finally face and confront the hatred in our midst with the honesty, seriousness and commitment it requires of us all.

[1] Inacuraccy of Mr. Breivik’s ‘conviction’: Conviction has been appealed by means of review. On 27 August 2012 an application was filed with the Norwegian Supreme Court for Review of the Oslo District Court: Breivik Judgement, to set aside (A) the Necessity ruling, and (B) the conviction; to conclude Objective and Subjective Necessity Test Evidentiary Enquiry. The finding of guilt, in the absence of full Objective and Subjective Necessity Test Conclusions renders the Guilt Finding Inadequate.
