UN Slams Tennessee Botched Execution as Abhorrent and Cruel
Original: UN slams TN botched execution as abhorrent and cruel
The United Nations has condemned a botched execution in Tennessee, calling it abhorrent and cruel. The UN's criticism adds international pressure on US capital punishment practices after the procedure went wrong. Rights advocates have long argued that flawed executions amount to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, and the case has renewed debate over how US states carry out death sentences.
Why now: A UN rebuke of a botched US execution has drawn attention to the death penalty debate.
