ONU susține că planul Pentagonului de a transmite în direct execuția atacatorului de la Fort Hood, care a ucis 13 persoane în 2009, ar echivala cu tortura

The UN has condemned the planned live execution of Nidal Hasan, stating it would amount to torture. Hasan, convicted for a mass shooting at Fort Hood, is set to face a firing squad, with details to be announced. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights emphasized that broadcasting an execution violates the absolute prohibition of torture. While some far-right Republicans support the live broadcast, public opinion is divided on capital punishment. The execution, scheduled for December 3, would be the first military execution in the US in 60 years, but legal challenges remain.
