La ejecución por pelotón de fusilamiento será transmitida en directo al público, afirma el secretario de Defensa de EE. UU.

El secretario de Defensa de EE. UU., Pete Hegseth, ha afirmado que el público podrá seguir en directo la ejecución prevista por pelotón de fusilamiento de Nidal Hasan, exmayor del Ejército estadounidense, condenado por un tiroteo de 2009 en la base de Fort Hood. La ejecución está prevista para el 3 de diciembre; según el informe, sería la primera ejecución pública en EE. UU. en casi un siglo.

The public will be able to watch the execution of a former US Army major by firing squad, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has said. It is believed to be the first public execution in the US in almost a century. Nidal Hasan, who shot dead 13 unarmed US soldiers at Fort Hood army base in 2009, is expected to be executed on 3 December. "People need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things," said Hegseth. The decision to livestream it is "unprecedented in the modern era" and "on uncertain legal terrain," said John Mills, a lawyer who works with inmates sentenced to death.
