Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young has urged Australia’s government to prevent the planned livestream of Nidal Malik Hasan’s US military execution. It remains unclear whether the government can restrict broadcasts of an ally’s legal proceedings. The UN human rights office warned that showing the killing would amount to a public execution and breach the absolute prohibition on torture.
