PST: No indications of planned attacks against pride

The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) reports no current indications of planned violent attacks against pride or other LGBTQ+ events in Norway.

In a recent assessment by the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST), there are currently no indications that any violent attacks are planned against pride celebrations or other LGBTQ+ events in Norway. This information is part of the PST's threat assessment titled "Pride and LGBTQ+ events in 2026," which aims to provide insights into potential threats faced by these communities.

The threat assessment will be officially presented on Saturday, giving further context to the safety measures and monitoring efforts by the PST to ensure the security of pride events. With the increasing visibility of LGBTQ+ issues and rights in Norway, the PST's evaluation signifies a proactive approach to counter potential threats and to foster an environment of safety for all participants.

The absence of specific threats is reassuring news for organizers and attendees of pride events and highlights the ongoing commitment of law enforcement agencies to protect civil rights and community celebrations. It remains crucial, however, for local authorities and organizers to continue engaging with the PST and other security services to uphold safety measures and preparedness in the face of any future concerns.
