(Reuters) - Vegard Groeslie Wennesland wants to finish the master's
dissertation he intended to edit on the island of Utoeya last July, when
he survived Norway's most violent attack since World War Two.
.
But for several months the 28-year old student at the University of Oslo
has struggled to focus on his paper, which looks at the political life of
Lebanon's Palestinian refugee camps.
.
Over coffee in the university cafeteria, he fiddles absent-mindedly with
an orange-and-white cotton bracelet and recalls his last work on the
dissertation. "I emailed a draft to my father so he could look at it. Send
me an SMS when you get it,' I wrote... My God, it's raining here.'"
.
The bracelet, marked with the word UTOEYA in capital letters, was given to
those attending last summer's Labour Party youth camp on the island.
Wennesland hasn't taken his off since the day far-right militant Anders
Behring Breivik shot dead 69 teenagers and adults. Hours earlier the
33-year old had planted a car bomb outside the prime minister's office in
central Oslo, killing eight.
.
In a nation of five million where most people either knew one of the
victims or know someone who did, the attacks have cut deep. Survivors -
including more than 240 wounded - still get flashbacks, panic attacks or
the strange feeling they are spectators of their own lives. Young people
have become more involved in politics.
.
But it is striking too what "July 22," as the attacks are commonly called
in Norway, has not done. It has not made Norwegians more fearful of one
another, or triggered calls for tougher anti-terrorist measures. Instead,
many Norwegians say it has reaffirmed their faith in a society they like
to see as liberal, tolerant and egalitarian.
.
That may in part be because Breivik, whose trial begins on April 16,
apparently acted alone. He has admitted to the attacks but refused to
plead guilty because he said his actions were necessary to protect Norway
from Muslim immigration and multiculturalism. The teenage activists on
Utoeya, he said, were traitors to the Norwegian nation. His lawyer says
his only regret is that he did not do more damage.
.
A first psychiatric evaluation found him to be psychotic and criminally
insane; a second assessment, ordered after a public outcry over how an
insane person could spend years methodically planning sophisticated
attacks without being detected, concluded he was sane.
.
If the judges agree and deem that he was sane at the time of the attacks
he could face up to 21 years in prison with the possibility for extensions
to prevent him from repeating his crimes. If they find he was insane,
Breivik would likely face detention in a secure psychiatric institution
for as long as he is considered sick.
.

.
Norway's response to the attacks also says a lot about the country. One
study found Norwegians trust each other more, not less, after Breivik. The
attacks have certainly fired up existing activists such as Wennesland,
whose friend Haavard Vederhus, the head of the Labour Party Youth League's
Oslo branch, was shot dead on Utoeya, and was replaced by Wennesland.
.
"This guy wanted to kill me because I believe in democracy, openness,
tolerance and dialogue," Wennesland, dressed in a hooded top and Converse
shoes, said. "Well, fuck it. If that is what he wanted to kill me for, I
am going to carry on fighting for it."
