He then began opening fire on people sitting outside at tables. Two men aged 54 and 60 were fatally wounded in the rampage and another nine people suffered bullet wounds. A number of others were also hurt. In all 19 bullets were fired.Police believe Oslo’s LGBT community was targeted for extreme religious motives. The shooting took place as the Pride festival neared an end in the early hours of 25 June 2022.As the video was shown, some of those inside the court were visibly shocked, according to Norwegian correspondents in the room.When Judge Eirik Aass asked if he was guilty of the charges, Zaniar Matapour shook his head and went on to ask why the trial was taking place during the month of Ramadan, the holiest month in the Muslim calendar. He complained that the court did not sit during the Christian holiday of Easter.”I’ve not perceived a conflict between the conduct of this trial and Ramadan,” the judge replied.State prosecutor Sturla Henriksbo told the trial at Oslo District Court that the suspect had recorded an oath of allegiance to so-called Islamic State (IS) shortly before the attack.He detailed how in the hours before the shooting the suspect had visited a mosque then taken a taxi to central Oslo from the suburb of Bjorndal, before taking a tram to the scene of the attack carrying a sports bag.The prosecutor said the 44-year-old had been in trouble with police while still a teenager and had received psychiatric treatment at the time. Then he was reported to Norway’s PST police security service in 2016 because of concerns that he was becoming radicalised, he added.Since his arrest Zaniar Matapour has refused to answer police questions and is not expected to speak in his defence during the trial.Months before the trial began he was assessed as legally responsible for his actions, although one of three experts concluded that he was not.If found guilty, he could face 30 years in jail. However, he could also be sent to a secure psychiatric facility,Norway’s PST was criticised in the aftermath of the shooting in a report that said the attack could have been prevented. The PST chief apologised for failing to respond to a warning from the intelligence service of a possible threat.Eleven days before the attack a known Norwegian Islamist called Arfan Bhatti posted a picture on social media of a burning Pride flag. The suspect had been seen in the same car as Mr Bhatti earlier in 2022 and the official report said that if the PST had acted then the shooting may have been averted. Mr Bhatti is currently in Pakistan and fighting extradition to Norway. He has denied having anything to do with the attack.Related TopicsOsloNorwayMore on this storyOslo shooting treated as Islamist terrorismPublished25 June 2022Top StoriesGaza medics tell BBC that Israeli troops beat and humiliated themPublished8 hours agoAbbott calls Tory donor’s comments frighteningPublished1 hour agoHaiti’s prime minister resigns as law and order collapsePublished7 hours agoFeaturesThe Ukrainian sea drones hunting Russian warshipsIs pressure on Kate after photo chaos unfair?The rise and fall of Haiti’s Ariel HenryHow the miners’ strike changed the role of womenSchoolboy recounts daring escape from Nigerian kidnap gangWhen wind turbine blades get old what’s next?’We don’t feel the joy of Ramadan in Rafah’ Video’We don’t feel the joy of Ramadan in Rafah’All By Myself songwriter Eric Carmen dies aged 74On Russia’s Arctic border, Nato’s new members prep for warElsewhere on the BBCWhere can women live their best lives?The global quest begins with body image…AttributionSoundsCan they complete a sub-zero expedition?Four famous women head to the Arctic for Comic Relief’s coldest, most extreme challengeAttributioniPlayerHow can jewellery unlock an entire identity?Dr Maria Maclennan is the world’s first, and only, Forensic JewellerAttributionSoundsMisled with the promise of a home…Panorama investigates the mobile home swindleAttributioniPlayerMost Read1More than a fifth of adults not looking for work2Abbott calls Tory donor’s comments frightening3Ukraine-based groups claim raids into Russia4Andrew Tate appears in court over UK arrest warrant5Al Pacino explains awkward Oscars announcement6Hollywood stars lead the way at Olivier nominations7Two bailed in funeral home investigation8Inquest into boy’s ‘social media craze’ death opens9Baptisms ‘a ticket’ for some asylum seekers – vicar10Gaza medics tell BBC that Israeli troops beat and humiliated them

Its representatives were attempting provide consular support. But Russian state media Tass quoted an unnamed official in their report saying Mr Baek is alleged to have passed on information “constituting state secrets to foreign intelligence services.”An anonymous source in Russia’s far eastern region, who claims to know Mr Baek, told the BBC that Mr Baek had been supporting North Korean labourers working in Russia and helping them escape.South Korean media have reported that Seoul was only officially informed by Russian authorities of the arrest last month.Yonhap, a South Korean outlet, is reporting that Mr Baek was arrested by Russia’s Federal Security Service in January after arriving in Vladivostok from China. The outlet said he is a religious worker and he had been accompanied by his wife, who was also detained but then later released. She is believed to be back in South Korea, the outlet reported.Mr Baek’s detention is the latest in a series of arrests of foreigners made by Russian authorities since the war in Ukraine began two years ago. Moscow has been accused of arresting other countries’ nationals to use as a political bargaining chip and for prisoner exchanges.Among the cases are American man and Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich who was detained last March on espionage charges and a Russian-US journalist Alsu Kurmsasheva who was accused of spreading “false information” about the Russian military.Tass reported that Mr Baek is being held in the same prison as Mr Gershkovich – the Lefortovo Prison. A court on Monday ruled for his detention to be extended to June, the Russian news agency reported.South Korea has with its Western allies condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and committed to a sanctions regime against Moscow. At the same time, Russia and North Korea have cultivated closer ties – with Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong un meeting in high-profile visits last year which analysts believe spawned military technology deals. A number of meetings between Russian and North Korean officials also took place in Vladivostok last year.Additional reporting by Jean MackenzieRelated TopicsWar in UkraineRussiaSouth KoreaMore on this storyRussia extends US journalist Gershkovich’s detentionPublished26 JanuaryUS citizens jailed by Putin left hostage to a dealPublished20 December 2023Top StoriesGaza medics tell BBC that Israeli troops beat and humiliated them after hospital raidPublished3 hours agoHaiti’s prime minister resigns as law and order collapsePublished2 hours agoUK needs new gas plants for energy security – PMPublished1 hour agoFeaturesThe Ukrainian sea drones hunting Russian warshipsHow the miners’ strike changed the role of womenKate’s photo apology and Tory donor’s Abbott remarksSchoolboy recounts daring escape from Nigerian kidnap gangWhen wind turbine blades get old what’s next?’We don’t feel the joy of Ramadan in Rafah’ Video’We don’t feel the joy of Ramadan in Rafah’All By Myself songwriter Eric Carmen dies aged 74On Russia’s Arctic border, Nato’s new members prep for warIs pressure on Kate after photo chaos unfair?Elsewhere on the BBCCrazy urban myth or legitimate punk-pop conspiracy?Comedian Joanne McNally investigatesAttributionSoundsDo you know why the Taj Mahal was built?Test your knowledge with The Seven Wonders of the World quizAttributionBitesizeAre you a descendant of royalty?Geneticist Dr. Adam Rutherford sets out to prove that we all are…AttributionSoundsFind out this foxy family’s BBC favourites…They’ve got their eyes on the MasterChef trophyAttributioniPlayerMost Read1More than a fifth of adults not looking for work2Andrew Tate detained over UK arrest warrant3UK man dies at his engagement party in Australia4Boeing whistleblower found dead in US5Whole of the Moon artist Karl Wallinger dies at 666Kate’s photo apology and Tory donor’s Abbott remarks7Gaza medics tell BBC that Israeli troops beat and humiliated them8Warning pet owners overpaying for medicine9Tory donor accused of racist Diane Abbott remarks10’Life is absolute hell – I feel I’m just existing’

Details on enforcing the law would be handed out on Friday, he said, and as of February or March. every French prefect would have to put together their files to decide which offenders should be expelled.However, the law also includes measures that prevent authorities from placing under-18s in detention centres and gives prefects the power to hand one-year residence permits to people with no papers who work in jobs such as construction, which are known to be facing labour shortages.Friday’s ruling coincided with latest migration figures from France’s interior ministry showing the number of foreign offenders expelled from France in 2023 had risen by 10.7% in 2023 to more than 17,000, although well down on the numbers before the Covid crisis.Asylum applications increased by 8.6% last year to almost 142,500, but at a slower rate than the year before.With European Parliament elections ahead in June, and without a majority in the National Assembly, President Emmanuel Macron is facing a strong challenge from the far right and he is reliant on parties outside the government to get legislation through.It was only five weeks ago that the government managed to push through its immigration law, with the backing of right-wing Republicans and the far-right National Rally (RN). Has Le Pen given Macron the ‘kiss of death’?Left-wing parties accused the president’s centrist Renaissance party of enabling the far right and betraying their own convictions, while some Renaissance MPs refused to back the proposals.In order to get the bill through, the government accepted a series of amendments on top of the measures already proposed, such as limiting family reunifications and reducing access to welfare.It was largely those amendments that were thrown out by the nine “sages” who make up France’s top constitutional authority on Thursday evening, to the anger of the Republicans and the RN.Government figures hailed the Constitutional Council’s ruling as a victory, as the original measures that ministers had initially failed to get past MPs were intact. “We have all the resources we need,” Mr Darmanin said.The president of the RN, Jordan Bardella, complained of a “coup by the judges, with the backing of the president of the Republic himself”, while Republicans leader Eric Ciotti said it appeared that constitutional reform was more vital than ever “to safeguard France’s destiny”.Commentators pointed out that the sages had scrapped the added measures because they were seen as not sufficiently linked to the initial legislation, not because of their substance. The French right is now pressing for a second immigration bill to be put forward, although the interior minister has made clear he has no intention of doing so.Related TopicsFranceEmmanuel MacronMore on this storyFrench MPs pass controversial immigration reformPublished20 December 2023Top StoriesLive.
