Three US states execute inmates simultaneously
Three U.S. states carried out executions on the same day, each using lethal injection to sentence three prisoners to death. This occurred amidst a rise in the frequency of executions during President Trump's administration. The executions follow the abolition of the death penalty in 23 states and moratoriums in others such as California, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. The last time three executions took place on the same day was in 2010. The U.S. government has called for expanding methods of execution to include shooting, gas, and electrocution. Tennessee carried out two executions, Alabama one, as debates over acceptable methods of capital punishment continue. This year, a total of 22 executions have been carried out across the United States, marking a significant increase compared to previous years. Reports indicate that lethal injection remains the most common method, but there has been criticism from the United Nations regarding the cruelty of using nitrogen gas as a method of execution.
