America is in a lot of discussions these days regarding the way to punish a prisoner. Actually the name of this prisoner is Kenneth Eugene Smith. Smith was convicted in 1988 of murdering a man’s wife after taking money from him. In 1996, he was sentenced to death. In 2022, an attempt was made to kill him by giving him a poisonous injection, at that time Smith was allegedly taken to a death chamber in a prison named Holman Correctional Facility.
After that, Smith was to be killed by injecting poisonous chemicals, but those who gave the injection did not find a vein in Smith’s body and in November 2022, at 12 midnight, Smith’s death warrant was cancelled, but now again Smith was put to death. Punishment is being given. That too through nitrogen gas, which the United Nations High Commissioner has also expressed opposition to. So let’s see how punishment is to be given through nitrogen gas.
How will he be killed through nitrogen gas?
Actually, this time the American administration has made a plan that by tying an airtight mask on Smith’s face, he will be forced to inhale nitrogen gas. You will be asked to take it inside. In such a situation, as soon as this gas, which deactivates the body, goes inside, it destroys the oxygen inside the person’s body. This is how he dies. Similarly, there is a plan to kill Smith also.
‘Violation of human rights’
The United Nations High Commissioner has expressed protest against giving death sentence to an accused in this manner. Commenting on this, he said that this method, which had never been used before, would be classified as torture and cruelty. He says that this method is not only inhumane but also against the dignity of human being. This should be stopped immediately.
Apart from this, medical experts have termed this method of giving death penalty as wrong. They believe that nitrogen gas can cause severe cramps in the body and the person can go into a passive state. Apart from this, they are also afraid that the gas may leak due to which other people present in the room may also die."text-align: justify;">Also read: Ram temple broke all temple records in terms of donations in one day!
