Anders Behring Breivik's lawyers said he has stuck to his decision not to appeal against a terror conviction and prison sentence for bomb and shooting attacks that killed 77 people.

At his sentencing, Breivik said he wouldn't challenge the ruling and his lawyer Geir Lippestad told reporters he had not changed his mind by yesterday's deadline. The 33-year-old Norwegian now starts serving his 21-year prison term, which can be extended for as long as he is considered a danger to society.
