LETTER: NO GOODBYES FOR VICTIMS
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.From Ms Jenny Adams
Sir: Am I the only person to be sickened by the media treatment of the case of Nick Ingram?
I see it as perfectly acceptable that the facts of the case and all the legal moves to stay execution should be reported. However, I can see no justification for the detailed descriptions of the horrifying death process that have appeared in so many newspapers, including the Independent. To me, it has verged on the pornographic.
Perhaps I am unduly squeamish about descriptions of physical torture; but it has now, on Thursday, reached the point when I flinch from listening to the radio (The Moral Maze, Radio 4), reading the papers or watching the television news.
Yours faithfully,
JENNY ADAMS
