US plan for public, livestreamed execution draws criticism

The US administration says Nidal Hasan will be executed by firing squad at Fort Hood, where he killed 13 people in 2009.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the execution would be public and streamed online.

Critics, including lawmakers from both parties and the UN, have condemned the plan.

It is scheduled for December 3, but legal challenges could delay it.
