Andy Burnham Condemns 'Abhorrent' US Plan to Livestream Firing Squad

Burnham said he would never support broadcasting the firing-squad killing of Nidal Hasan, who was convicted of killing 13 people in 2009.

  • Prime Minister Andy Burnham condemned US plans to livestream the December 3 execution of Nidal Malik Hasan by firing squad, calling the proposal "abhorrent."
  • Hasan is scheduled for execution on December 3 for his 2009 conviction in a Fort Hood, Texas shooting that killed 13 people and injured 32 others, marking the first US military execution in more than 65 years.
  • Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said the execution would be public, telling Real America's Voice the military would ensure public access to the event despite international criticism.
  • The Equalities Minister, Bridget Phillipson, stated she finds the plans "disturbing," adding she is "proud that our country did away with the death penalty a very, very long time ago."
  • Vice President Vance has cast doubt on whether the execution will be shown as planned, signaling potential internal uncertainty regarding the December 3 livestream.
