In 2001, Benjamin Hermansen, a 15-year-old of mixed Norwegian-Ghanaian heritage, was murdered in Oslo by Joe Erling Jahr and Ole Nicolai Kvisler, members of the neo-Nazi group "Boot Boys." The racially motivated stabbing shocked Norway and led to widespread public protests against racism. Jahr was sentenced to 18 years in prison, while Kvisler received 17 years, with a third accomplice, Veronica Andreassen, receiving a shorter sentence. Hermansen's murder became a symbol of the fight against racism and is commemorated annually, sparking national discussions on xenophobia and far-right extremism in Norway.
