On 6 June 2012, extreme right blogger Eivind Berge has jailed for two weeks charged with death threats against police. The police believe the man who called for police killings on the internet is so dangerous that he needs to be held on.
- It is because there is a risk of recurrence of new criminal offenses, says prosecutor Rudolph Christoffersen of the Hordaland police district to NRK.
