The US military will livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan, convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, on December 3 via firing squad—the first military execution by firing squad since World War II. The Pentagon's decision to livestream the execution has drawn UN condemnation as a form of torture and public execution.
Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth announced that the execution of former Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, scheduled for December 3 at Fort Hood, will be publicly livestreamed—an unprecedented move that would mark the U.S. military's first execution since 1961. Hasan was sentenced to death in 2013 for a 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood that killed 13 people and injured 31 others. Experts note there is no precedent globally for a government-livestreamed execution.
