АНУ-ын ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамп цэргийн албан хаагчдыг хөнөөсөн гэмт хэрэгтний ялыг гүйцэтгэх ажиллагааг олон нийтэд цахим сүлжээгээр шууд дамжуулахгүй байхаар шийдвэрлэжээ.
АНУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамп 2009 онд Форт Худ цэргийн баазад 13 хүний аминд хүрсэн Нидал Малик Хасаныг цаазаар авах ажиллагааг шууд дамжуулах төлөвлөгөөг цуцалснаа мэдэгдэв. Тэрээр Truth Social сүлжээндээ бичихдээ, уг ажиллагааг цахим сүлжээгээр дамжуулах нь тодорхой хэмжээний сэрэмжлүүлэг болох боловч олон хүн ийм төрлийн дүрсийг үзэхийг хүсэхгүй байгааг онцолсон байна. Гэсэн хэдий ч хохирогчдын ар гэрийнхэн цаазаар авах ажиллагааг биечлэн үзэх эрхтэй хэвээр үлдэх ажээ.
Үүнээс хэд хоногийн өмнө Цэргийн сайд Пит Хегсет уг ажиллагааг олон нийтэд шууд дамжуулна хэмээн мэдэгдсэн нь улс төрийн хүрээнийхний зүгээс хүчтэй шүүмжлэл дагуулсан юм. Бүгд найрамдах намын сенатор Том Тиллис уг санаачилгыг “жигшүүртэй” хэмээн нэрлэсэн бол Ардчилсан намын сенатор Крис Мөрфи болон бусад улс төрчид үүнийг террорист бүлэглэлүүдийн үйлдэлтэй адилтган буруушаажээ.
Нидал Малик Хасан нь 2009 оны арваннэгдүгээр сарын 5-нд Техас дахь Форт Худ цэргийн баазад гал нээж, 13 хүний аминд хүрч, 32 хүнийг шархдуулсан хэрэгт буруутгагдсан юм. Цэргийн шүүх түүнийг 2013 оны наймдугаар сард 13 хүнийг санаатайгаар алсан болон 32 хүнийг алахыг завдсан хэргээр гэм буруутайд тооцож, цаазаар авах ял оноосон байна.
Энэхүү ажиллагаа нь АНУ-ын цэргийн түүхэнд сүүлийн зургаан арван жилд хийгдэх анхны цаазаар авах ял, мөн Дэлхийн хоёрдугаар дайны дараах анхны буудлагын гүйцэтгэл болох юм. АНУ-ын Дээд шүүх 2025 оны гуравдугаар сард түүний давж заалдах хүсэлтийг хэрэгсэхгүй болгосны дараа Ерөнхийлөгч Трамп цаазын ялыг баталгаажуулжээ.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth had said the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, who gunned down 13 US service members, would be webcast
The execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 US service members in a 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, will not be public, US President Donald Trump has announced. Days earlier, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth promised it would be webcast, drawing criticism from lawmakers across party lines.
In a post on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump wrote that the former US Army major “will die, as scheduled, by firing squad, but this event will not be streamed.” The US president explained that while webcasting Hasan’s execution “might have been a strong deterrent… many very good and well meaning people would rather not watch him die, through streaming, or through any other visual device.”
Trump noted that the relatives of the victims would still have the right to view Hasan’s death in person.
According to Axios, citing an anonymous administration official, the US president has grown increasingly skeptical of the idea in recent days, not least because of all the “negative input” he supposedly received.
Speaking to reporters late last Friday, Trump said he “wasn’t involved in that decision.”
Hegseth told conservative commentator Jack Posobiec last Thursday that Hasan is scheduled to be shot at 1 PM on December 3 – the approximate time of day of the original attack – at the same installation where he carried out the massacre.
“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,” the secretary said.
It will be the first execution carried out by the US military in more than six decades and the first by an Army firing squad since World War II.
The last public execution in the US took place in 1936, making Hegseth’s idea of livestreaming it highly controversial.
Republican Senator Thom Tillis characterized the proposal as “beyond disgusting,” with his fellow GOP lawmaker, Representative Austin Scott, writing on X that “live-streaming executions is what jihadists do.”
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy also likened public executions to those carried out by terrorist groups.
Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, similarly condemned the livestream plan as a “barbaric promotion of a culture of death.”
Born in the US in 1970 to Palestinian immigrant parents, Hasan trained as a doctor before becoming an Army psychiatrist.
On November 5, 2009, he opened fire with two semiautomatic pistols on service members at Fort Hood’s Soldier Readiness Processing Center in Texas, where troops prepare for overseas deployment. He killed 13 people and wounded 32 others while reportedly shouting “Allahu akbar” – Arabic for “God is great” – during the attack.
Return fire from military police wounded Hasan before they could arrest him, leaving the shooter paralyzed from the waist down.
During his court-martial, Hasan acknowledged his responsibility for the attack, stating that he believed he was acting to protect fellow Muslims from US military actions in Afghanistan.
In August 2013, a military court found Hasan guilty of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. A panel of 13 senior military officers unanimously sentenced him to death later that month.
The US Supreme Court declined to review his conviction in March 2025, and Trump approved the execution earlier this month.
