🇺🇳 The United Nations (UN) warned that the United States' decision to publicly broadcast the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, former commander and psychiatrist of the United States Army, constitutes cruel and inhuman treatment, sharply violating the international prohibition of torture.

🪖 Hasan, sentenced for the mass shooting at Fort Hood in 2009 that left 13 dead, will face a firing squad on December 3. His case represents the first execution in the U.S. Armed Forces in more than six decades.

📺 The measure approved by the Pentagon to broadcast the images live has sparked immediate condemnation from multilateral organizations, denouncing the public display of the death penalty.
