Trump questions live broadcast of Nidal Hassan's execution
During a speech last evening, U.S. President Donald Trump accused a news outlet of live streaming the execution of Nidal Hassan, who was convicted of carrying out the 2009 attack at Fort Hood that resulted in the deaths of 13 people. U.S. Department of Defense officials confirmed that the procedure would be broadcast to the public, despite rising objections from politicians, human rights organizations, and the United Nations, which warned that live broadcasting could amount to torture and violate human rights. Hassan's execution, considered the first military execution by firing squad since World War II, is a controversial step amid widespread criticism, amid concerns over promoting a culture of death and fostering brutality.
