Greens call on federal government to block US execution live stream in Australia
- The Greens want the federal government to make sure the live streaming of a firing squad execution in the United States is not shown in Australia.
- Last week, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he would make sure the public could watch the December 3 execution of Nidal Malik Hasan — which would be the first US execution by a military firing squad since World War II.
- Hasan was convicted of killing 13 people and injuring dozens more in a shooting at the Fort Hood military base in 2009.
