Eskil Pedersen, Norwegian politician

Eskil Pedersen (born 6 March 1984 in Skien) is a Norwegian politician and former leader from 2010 to 2014 of the Workers' Youth League (AUF), the youth organisation associated with Norway's leading Labour Party.Pedersen survived the massacre on the Workers' Youth League summer camp at Utøya on 22 July 2011. Many have accused Pedersen of treason due to him commanding the Utøya ferry to leave without other victims.5 Although leaders of AUF are never anonymous, his role in the aftermath as a representative for the organisation has caused a vast increase in media exposure, particularly in the months following the attacks. Anders Behring Breivik, the perpetrator of the attacks, stated that Pedersen was one of his three primary targets.
