Carey Grayson's execution marks the third use of nitrogen gas in the U.S., amid continued debate on whether it constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.
Despite Alabama officials calling nitrogen asphyxiation humane, critics deem it torture, especially after Grayson showed distress during execution, raising ethical concerns.
UN experts urged a ban on nitrogen gas executions, asserting that such methods violate international law and represent cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment.
Alabama's Attorney General claimed justice was served with Grayson's execution, while controversies over execution methods and their humanity continue to provoke international outcry.
