OSLO (Reuters) - Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer behind the country's worst peacetime atrocity, will appear in court on Tuesday to argue he should be released from prison after spending over 13 years behind bars.

The anti-Muslim neo-Nazi killed 77 people in July 2011. He killed eight with a car bomb in Oslo and then gunned down 69, most of them teenagers, at a Labour Party youth camp on Utoeya island.
