一家领先的人权组织呼吁堪培拉正式抗议计划于12月公开处决一名前美国陆军军官。美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞思上周誓言，纳达尔·哈桑——他在2009年枪杀了13名无武装士兵——将于12月3日面临“士兵组成的行刑队”。他说：“我们会确保人们能够观看它，因为它是公开的，因为人们需要明白，对这类行为会有严重后果。”
A leading human rights group is calling on Canberra to formally protest plans to publicly execute a former US Army officer in December. US War Secretary Pete Hegseth last week vowed that Nidal Hasan, who fatally shot 13 unarmed soldiers in 2009, would face “a firing squad of soldiers” on December 3. “We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public, because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things,” he said.
周末，唐纳德·特朗普总统表示他支持这一想法，这将成为美国历史上首次广播处决。国际特赦组织澳大利亚分部战略与倡导经理京宗·东杜告诉NewsWire，公开处决“令人深感不安”。她说：“建议以公开方式直播枪决，这是对人类尊严的可怕漠视。”她还说：“将国家批准的杀戮变成公众表演只会加剧死刑的残酷性。”她表示，澳大利亚“有长期致力于全球废除死刑的承诺”，并呼吁阿尔巴尼斯政府“通过直接向美国表达关切来 uphold 这一承诺，敦促当局停止执行，减刑哈桑的死刑判决，并取消广播计划”。
President Donald Trump at the weekend said he backed the idea, which would be the first ever broadcast execution in US history. Amnesty International Australia strategy and advocacy manager Kyinzom Dhongdue told NewsWire that the public execution was “deeply disturbing”. “The suggestion that an execution by firing squad should be livestreamed for public viewing is an appalling disregard for human dignity,” she said. “Turning a state-sanctioned killing into a public spectacle only compounds the cruelty of the death penalty.”She said Australia had “a longstanding commitment to the global abolition of the death penalty” and called on the Albanese government to “uphold that commitment by raising its concerns directly with the United States, urging authorities to halt the execution, commute Hasan’s death sentence and abandon plans to broadcast it”.
外交部长黄英贤未回应置评请求。所有澳大利亚州和领地均已在1985年前废除死刑，其中西澳大利亚是最后一个这样做的司法管辖区。议会于2010年通过立法永久禁止死刑。呼吁堪培拉采取行动之际，澳大利亚绿党也要求联邦当局阻止该处决在澳大利亚被广播。
Foreign Minister Penny Wong did not respond to a request for comment. All Australian states and territories had abolished the death penalty by 1985, with Western Australia the last jurisdiction to do so. Parliament passed legislation permanently banning it in 2010. The call for Canberra to act comes as the Greens demand federal authorities stop the execution from being broadcast in Australia.
政府必须采取预防性措施，警告YouTube、TikTok和Meta等流媒体和社交媒体平台：如果此次国家谋杀被广播或稍后重播，将面临巨额罚款。绿党参议员莎拉·汉森-杨在致通信部长阿尼卡·威尔斯的信中写道：“对此的不作为将危及数百万澳大利亚人的网络安全，并使成人和儿童暴露于此类有害内容之中。”但并非所有人都对这次处决感到担忧。
“The government must be pre-emptive and warn streaming and social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Meta that very large fines will apply if this state murder is broadcast or replayed at a later date,” Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young wrote in a letter to Communications Minister Anika Wells. “Inaction on this will jeopardise millions of Australians’ online safety and expose both adults and children to this harmful content.”But not all are concerned by the execution, with crossbencher Ralph Babet pledging to share “footage of the lawful execution of convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan”.
无党籍议员拉尔夫·巴贝特承诺分享“已定罪恐怖分子尼达尔·马利克·哈桑的合法处决录像”。他在社交媒体上发帖称：“（eSafety委员会）如果你不喜欢，就不要看。”但不要胆敢假设你有权力决定一名当选的澳大利亚参议员可以或不可以发布什么内容。你不是言论自由的仲裁者。更多内容即将发布。
“(eSafety Commission) if you don’t like it, don’t watch it,” he posted on social media. “But don’t you dare presume you have the authority to dictate what an elected Australian senator can or cannot publish. “You are not the arbiters of free speech. More to come
