The court's ruling "remains limited and symbolic if it is not supported by all countries around ...

Thursday will mark the third nitrogen hypoxia execution in Alabama this year for a prisoner convicted of a 1994 murder. Concerns regarding the potential for protracted suffering and whether there is an unlawful danger of more pain are still raised by the new execution technique, which entails breathing only nitrogen gas through a mask while being deprived of oxygen. However, a federal appeals court last week dismissed the convicted man's attorneys' claims, allowing 50-year-old Carey Dale Grayson to be executed.
