“Some executions in the US are being delayed because of a nationwide shortage of sodium thiopental, one of the drugs used in lethal injections… Officials in California are pressing for its first execution in over four years to go ahead on Thursday evening as scheduled, because the state’s last remaining batch of sodium thiopental expires on Friday.” [BBC]
