Human rights organizations and legal specialists warn that a recent policy shift may put minors at risk, as they are typically prohibited from attending executions. The change raises concerns over potential psychological harm and ethical violations, given the sensitive nature of capital punishment proceedings. Critics argue the decision undermines long-standing protections for vulnerable groups. Legal challenges are expected as advocates push for safeguards to prevent exploitation or trauma among young witnesses.
Rights groups and legal experts say the move could endanger minors, who are usually barred from witnessing executions.
