United Nations experts have called on the US to halt its plans to use nitrogen hypoxia to kill an inmate in an upcoming execution.
The experts — Morris Tidball-Binz, Alice Jill Edwards, Tlaeng Mofokeng and Margaret Satterthwaite, all with the Human Rights Council's special procedures programme — said using the method could constitute subjecting the inmate to "cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or even torture," according to Reuters.
