Amnesty warns livestreaming US firing squad execution compounds cruelty
Original: USA: Livestreaming firing squad execution would compound cruelty of the death penalty
Amnesty International is warning that plans to livestream a firing squad execution in the United States would deepen the cruelty inherent in capital punishment. The human rights organisation says broadcasting an execution to the public would compound the harm of the death penalty itself, which it opposes outright, and has called for the practice to be halted.
Why now: A US state is reportedly considering broadcasting an execution by firing squad, prompting human rights criticism.
