The court in Nykøbing Falster decided that Peter Madsens human rights are not violated by restricting his right to visits, exchange of letters and telephone calls, since Madsen sued the prison where he is serving his sentence.
Change in Danish law
This decision follows a change in Danish law that came into effect last year, which means that people sentenced to life imprisonment or detention may not have any contact with people they did not know before they were charged during the first ten years in prison or detention.
The court also ruled on Madsen’s right to have contact with a specific person, a right that the prison had previously denied him. In this part of the case, Madsen was vindicated by the court, because the conditions of the law were met for this person.

Illegal correspondence
Madsen is said to have also been charged with illegal exchange of letters earlier this year, after sending four letters from the prison in Falster, writes SvD.
Escaped from prison
In October 2020, Peter Madsen tried to escape from the high-risk prison Albertslund. Among other things, he is said to have taken a female psychologist hostage and threatened that he had a bomb on him, according to the report SVT.
Madsen then managed to get out of prison, but was arrested by the police three hours later.
