Trump said the execution of Nidal Hasan, convicted of killing 13 people at an army base, will not be livestreamed. The victims’ immediate families may attend in person.
A group of 72 retired US generals, admirals and other senior officers has called on authorities to cancel plans to livestream the firing-squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, citing legal arguments and the broadcast’s potential dangers. Death-penalty experts say no government execution has ever been televised or livestreamed, and the US military has not used a firing squad since 1945.
US President Donald Trump said Thursday he was scrapping plans to livestream the firing-squad execution of convicted military base shooter Nidal Hasan. The plan had provoked outrage in the United States. Hasan is scheduled to be executed on December 3 at Fort Hood, Texas, where he killed 13 people in 2009.
Donald Trump said Nidal Hasan’s execution will proceed as scheduled but will not be livestreamed, reversing a plan previously announced by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
