Trump says military execution won't be live

The planned execution of a death- sentenced assassin at a U.S. military base in Texas will no longer be broadcast live, President Donald Trump announced on his platform Truth Social. Trump explained that many "very good and well-meaning people" did not want to witness the man's demise. The president stated that a live broadcast might have had a strong deterrent effect, but the execution of Nidal Hasan, who carried out a massacre at a military base in 2009, would not be shown online.

Hasan, a former military psychiatrist, killed 13 people and injured 32 others in the 2009 attack and was sentenced to death in 2013. The execution is scheduled for December 3rd at Fort Hood, a military base in Texas. Former military psychologist Hasan had killed 13 people and injured 32 others in the 2009 attack. He was sentenced to death in 2013.

Trump approved Hasan's execution recently, a few days after a failed execution attempt in Tennessee. The case has reignited the debate about the death penalty in the United States.
