Biography
Born in Skien, Telemark, Pracon is the county secretary for the Workers' Youth League, Telemark.
In August 2012 Adrian Pracon was sentenced to 180 hours of community service and NKr 10,000 in damages having been found guilty by Oslo District Court of aggravated assault against two individuals in November 2011. He had unprovokedly beat the first person, a man, whom he then kicked in the head repeatedly while the man was lying on the ground. A woman also had to have several stitches sewn in her face following the incident. Pracon was given lenience by the court due to the traumas he suffered on 22 July 2011. Pracon had been at an arraignment hearing for Anders Behring Breivik earlier on the day of his offence.[1]
