Usa, l'arcivescovo Broglio contro la fucilazione pubblica di Hasan

Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the military ordinary for the United States, condemned the scheduled December 3 execution of Nidal Malik Hasan and plans to live stream the event. Hasan was sentenced to death for the 2009 attack on the Fort Hood military base that killed 14 people, including a pregnant woman.

Broglio asked Catholic soldiers who might be assigned to the execution squad to exercise conscientious objection. Bishops in Texas also expressed concern that the execution and its broadcast could cause further trauma for military members and the families of the victims.
