The Army prohibits anyone under 18 from witnessing an execution, yet the Pentagon says it will livestream Nidal Hasan's scheduled death. Army regulations do not address online broadcasts, leaving questions over how the livestream could proceed and whether age restrictions would apply.

A Pentagon official told the Washington Examiner the execution will be livestreamed, after Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said the department would ensure people could watch.
