Back in the United States, calls are growing for Texas to halt its executions after BuzzFeed revealed the state buys its lethal injection drugs from a Houston pharmacy whose license has been on probation since 2016. As they were dying, five of the 11 prisoners Texas executed this year said their bodies felt like they were burning after they were injected. The process is supposed to be painless. Two more executions are scheduled this month, including one tonight. Gloria Rubac of the Texas Death Penalty Abolition Movement protested Monday outside Greenpark Compounding Pharmacy and Gifts.

Gloria Rubac: “Let us know now that you will stop making, compounding lethal injection drugs. If you do not, you will face an international campaign to boycott your business, and we will shut you down.”
