On Friday, the Norwegian police held a press conference about Wednesday night's Muslim terrorist attack outside Oslo where five people were shot dead with a bow. SVT broadcast live, but periodically without sound when it was decided that the Swedish TV viewers would not receive full information about what happened.

At 6 pm on Friday night, 37-year-old Islamic convert Espen Andersen Bråthen murdered five people and injured another number when he, armed with a bow, went to attack in Kongsberg just outside Oslo. He had previously published a video with a pro-violence jihadist message that "the time for a settlement has come".

The act has attracted a great deal of attention in Sweden as well. Swedish media, however, have wanted to attribute the act to the perpetrator's mental instability instead of his religious-politically violent Islamist conviction. On Friday, SVT went a step further when they chose to censor large parts of the Norwegian police's press conference.

Chose to broadcast without sound
Before handing over to the police press conference in Norway, SVT's news anchors in the studio declared that the broadcast would be partially censored for the Swedish viewers as opposed to the Norwegian ones. Instead of censorship, state television described it as "we are restrained with information".

It was clarified that the parts of the press conference that SVT did not want viewers in Sweden to take part in would be broadcast with turned down audio. This also happened and during large parts of the broadcast you could see in the Swedish TV sofas the lips of the Norwegian police moving behind the podium but without hearing what was said.
