美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞思宣布，将于12月3日通过枪决执行前陆军精神科医生尼达尔·哈桑，并将该过程进行直播。26哈桑因2009年在德州胡德堡军事基地杀害13名手无寸铁的士兵而被判死刑。26这将是美国军方自1945年以来首次枪决。6
该计划立即引发了两党政界人士的强烈反对。15共和党参议员托姆·蒂利斯称直播处决"令人厌恶"。15民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲称其为"中世纪"做法。6美国天主教主教团主席保罗·科克利大主教评价为"野蛮的死亡文化推广"。6民主党众议院军事委员会首席成员亚当·史密斯表示这一举动"令人不安，嘲笑了我们的法律制度"。6副总统JD·万斯对执行计划表示怀疑，称自己不会观看直播。8
国际社会也对此举提出了严厉批评。6联合国人权高专办警告称，直播杀害行为将违反绝对禁止刑讯逼供的禁忌。6英国平等事务大臣布里奇特·菲利普森称这一概念"相当令人不安"。6民主党议员亚萨明·安萨里指出此举与伊朗和阿富汗等独裁政权类似。6如果该计划实施，美国将加入伊朗和阿富汗等少数国家，成为目前系统性进行公开处决的国家之一。3
关于直播平台问题，YouTube、Meta、Twitch和X未对相关置评请求作出回应。4TikTok发言人表示平台政策禁止展示"令人震惊和图形化内容"，包括"某人死亡的时刻"。4联邦通讯委员会主席布伦丹·卡尔指出，由于该处决计划在国防部管辖范围内的在线平台直播，FCC可能无需介入。7赫格塞思表示处决将被公开，"因为人们需要了解这些行为会产生严重后果"。9
The Pentagon announced plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, scheduled for December 3rd by firing squad 26. Hasan was convicted for killing 13 unarmed soldiers at Fort Hood military base in Texas on November 5, 2009, and was sentenced to death by military court-martial in 2013 on 13 counts of premeditated first-degree murder and 32 counts of premeditated attempted murder 6.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved the plan to make the execution public, stating that "we'll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public, because people need to understand there's serious consequences for these types of things" 9. He further remarked, "Don't care. We'll see him on December 3" 6. This execution will mark the first military firing squad execution in the United States since 1945 6.
The announcement has triggered fierce opposition from both political parties and international bodies. Republican Senator Thom Tillis called the livestream plan "beyond disgusting," while Democratic Senator Chris Murphy labeled it "medieval" 6. Democratic House Armed Services Committee ranking member Adam Smith termed the plan "disturbing and makes a mockery of our legal system" 6. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, led by Archbishop Paul Coakley, condemned it as a "barbaric promotion of a culture of death" 6. Vice President JD Vance expressed skepticism about whether the execution will actually occur and stated he will not watch it if it does 8.
The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights warned that a public execution would constitute a violation of the absolute prohibition against torture 68. If implemented, the United States would join a small number of countries, including Iran and Afghanistan, that regularly conduct public executions 3. In 2025, the Taliban conducted 6 public executions while Iran's government conducted 11 3.
Regarding media coverage, major social platforms have not committed to hosting the livestream. YouTube, Meta, Twitch, and X declined to respond to inquiries from The Verge about their policies 4. TikTok spokesperson Jamie Favazza stated that the platform prohibits "shocking and graphic content," including "the moment of someone's death" 4. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr indicated he believes the FCC will not have a regulatory role since the Pentagon plans to stream the execution on platforms within its jurisdiction rather than broadcast television 7.
