Breivik had sued the Norwegian authorities, claiming his conditions were "inhumane" and he was suicidal.

But a court ruled on Thursday that Breivik's sentencing terms were "not a violation of human rights".

Breivik's lawyer said his client was disappointed with the outcome and would appeal against the latest judgment.

He has been held in isolation ever since he killed eight people with a car bomb and shot dead another 69, most of them teenagers, at a summer youth camp on the island of Utoeya on 22 July 2011.
