For the first time in America, a criminal was executed by nitrogen gas.


According to the foreign news agency, the murderer was executed by nitrogen gas in the American state of Alabama.


According to the report, nitrogen gas was released in the mask worn by the criminal in Alabama.



The attorney general says Smith was pronounced dead in less than 40 minutes.


According to the news agency, Smith was sentenced to death in 1989 for killing a preacher's wife.


It should be noted that the US states of Alabama, Oklahoma and Mississippi have approved the death penalty by nitrogen gas, while the United Nations Human Rights Commission has declared the death penalty by nitrogen gas an inhumane act.
