Hamid said he and his team strongly support the solidarity gathering. However, he advised those participating in the peaceful assembly to comply with the law and maintain cleanliness.

Florida executes man for 1982 murder by lethal injection
Published on: Wednesday, August 20, 2025 Published on: Wed, Aug 20, 2025 By: AFP Text Size: Kayle Bates received the death penalty in 1983 for killing Janet Renee White. The 24-year-old victim was abducted from her Lynn Haven insurance office. MIAMI: A 67-year-old man convicted of a 1982 murder was executed by lethal injection in Florida on Tuesday. Kayle Bates received the death penalty in 1983 for killing Janet Renee White. The 24-year-old victim was abducted from her Lynn Haven insurance office. Advertisement White was stabbed to death in nearby woods after returning from lunch. Officials confirmed the execution occurred at 6:17 pm at Florida State Prison. The United States has conducted 29 executions in 2025, marking the highest number since 2014. Lethal injection accounted for 24 of these executions nationwide. Two executions were carried out by firing squad this year. Three inmates died through nitrogen hypoxia, a controversial new method. This technique involves pumping nitrogen gas into a face mask until suffocation occurs. United Nations experts have condemned nitrogen gas as cruel and inhumane. Florida leads all states with 10 executions performed in 2025. The death penalty remains abolished in 23 American states currently. Three additional states maintain formal moratoriums on capital punishment. California, Oregon and Pennsylvania have halted executions through gubernatorial orders. Former President Donald Trump supports expanding capital punishment. He advocated for increased use of executions 'for the vilest crimes' upon taking office. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
