Arab News | US decision to livestream execution would be torture, says UN



GENEVA: A decision by US officials to livestream the execution of convicted killer Nidal Hasan would amount to torture, the UN said Friday.

“The livestreaming of an execution is tantamount to a public execution and would breach the absolute prohibition of torture,” the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said in a message sent to AFP.
