A Norwegian court has rejected mass killer Anders Behring Breivik's parole application, it said in a ruling on Tuesday, ordering that he must stay in prison.

Breivik, an anti-Muslim neo-Nazi, killed 77 people in Norway's worst peacetime atrocity 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.

"The risk of violence is real and significant and equal to what it was when was first sentenced," the district court in Telemark said in a unanimous verdict. He was however eligible to seek parole after serving the first 10 years of his term, and is entitled to apply for release a year after each rejection.

The court said Breivik could not be taken at his word when he said he would no longer commit acts of violence.
