Convicted Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik threatened to go on a hunger strike unless he's given a PlayStation 3, access to more adult games, a PC and a nicer chair, the AFP reports.
Breivik was sentenced to 21 years in prison for killing 77 people in a bombing and shooting rampage in July 2011. During his trial, Breivik told a packed Oslo courtroom how he used Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to "train" for the summer shooting spree. He also defended his World of Warcraft gaming habits, saying it was a hobby and unrelated to the attacks.
In the letter, obtained by the AFP and dated Jan. 29, 2013, Breivik calls himself a human rights activist and said that the prison system was treating him "worse than an animal.
The letter makes 12 demands including the right to communicate more freely with the public, the replacement of his PS2 with a PS3, access to more adult games and a sofa or armchair.
"Other inmates have access to adult games while I only have the right to play less interesting kids games. One example is Rayman Revolution, a game aimed at three year olds," Breivik wrote in the letter, according to the AFP.
He argued that since he has behaved since his incarceration he should have access to a wider "selection of activities" than other inmates to make up for his isolation. He also asked for a PC to replace his typewriter, bemoaning the lack of technology afforded him.
"You've put me in hell ... and I won't manage to survive that long," he wrote. "You are killing me."
Officials are expected to respond to the more than year-old complaint next week.
