LETTER: Horror story
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I WAS shocked to have all the evidence regarding various methods of execution laid out across the majority of the third page in the newspaper ("The cruel myth of `humane' execution", 9 April). I understand that these matters need to be researched and the evidence published but I don't think the gruesome details should be written up in full in a quality Sunday newspaper. I equate the contents of the article with that of a horror film and not suitable for family reading.
To write this I read the whole article. It left me feeling sick. Who would want to read this as casual Sunday reading? Finally, I express my support for Amnesty International and others who work in support of human rights.
