USA - Georgia. Gov. Nathan Deal signed House Bill 122 that would make the identities of those who supply the lethal injection drug a "state secret"

Gov. Nathan Deal signed House Bill 122. The new law, which Corrections officials sought, would make the identities of those who make and supply the lethal injection drug a "state secret," which means Georgia would have the discretion to hide the information. The law also makes a state secret the names of prison staff who carry out executions. For decades, the Georgia has kept the names of security staff secret. It would now shield the names of private doctors the prison system hires to carry out executions.
