Albanese says Australia will try to block livestream of planned U.S. execution
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the planned livestream of an execution by firing squad in the United States “disgusting.” Albanese said his government would do everything it could to prevent footage of Nidal Hasan’s execution from being viewed in Australia. Hasan was sentenced to death over the 2009 Fort Hood attack.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese opposed the planned livestream of an execution by firing squad in the United States, calling the broadcast “disgusting.”
Albanese said his government would do everything possible to prevent footage of the execution from appearing before people in Australia. Saying that the reputations of those who carried out such a broadcast would be damaged, Albanese said he could not understand why anyone would want to watch the footage based on their personal beliefs.
“This is not as simple as turning off a light switch, and we will do everything we can to stop it.”
Albanese said, “I find it disgusting that there would be anyone who wanted to see something like this.”
Hasan’s execution plan
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced last week that Nidal Hasan, who was sentenced to death for the 2009 armed attack he carried out at Fort Hood in Texas, in which 13 people were killed and 32 were wounded, would be executed by firing squad at the same military base on December 3.
Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, was convicted in 2013 of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder. He has been held at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas ever since.
The Pentagon announced that U.S. President Donald Trump approved the execution recommendation on Monday.
