U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the execution of the convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan convicted for the Nov. 5, 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood in Texas will be live streamed to the public.

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump approved the use of a military firing squad to carry out the execution. Now, some members of the international community are condemning the decision to make it public.
