UN warns livestreaming US execution would breach torture ban
Original: Livestreaming US execution would breach prohibition of torture, UN rights office warns The UN human rights office (OHCHR
The UN human rights office has warned that livestreaming a planned execution by firing squad in the United States would amount to a public execution and breach the absolute prohibition on torture under international law. The warning came ahead of the scheduled killing, and rights advocates say broadcasting such an event would constitute cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.
Why now: A planned US execution by firing squad that may be broadcast has drawn condemnation from the UN human rights office.
