LONDON: British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has condemned the possibility of a public execution in the US as "abhorrent."
A Pentagon official said last Thursday that the execution by firing squad of convicted Fort Hood military base shooter Nidal Hasan would be livestreamed, although US President Donald Trump has since said no decision had been taken on whether to broadcast it.
Asked about the possibility of a public execution in the US, Burnham told The Rest is Politics podcast due to be released on Monday: "I would never support that."
"It's something that I can't say I ever want to see anywhere in the world," he said.
