Norway Remembers 22 July Terror Attacks

Published: 2024-07-22

On July 22, 2024, Norway marked the 13th anniversary of the tragic terror attacks that claimed 77 lives in 2011. AUF leader Astrid Hoem delivered a powerful speech at the memorial in Regjeringskvartalet, urging society to continue fighting against extremism.

She emphasized the importance of remembering the victims and learning from history, especially as many young people today have no memory of the events.

Hoem highlighted recent threats from teenagers planning terror attacks, warning that the fight against hate must persist.

The day was filled with memorials across the country, reminding everyone of the ongoing impact of the attacks and the need for vigilance against rising extremism.
