Both the government forces and terrorist forces (al-shabab, etc) of lower Somalia live-stream/broadcast/record their executions on Twitter from time to time. Though I've not seen it done on Twitch, I'd be very surprised if that hasn't been done yet. Typically this is by firing squad.

Look, I'm not going to get into the issues around the death penalty, but the fact remains that a lot of governments and semi-governments use SV tech just as they would use any radio/TV station/newspaper that is under their jurisdiction. Death is horrible, no question. But it's not like these events are being hidden away on sketchy websites that you have to hunt for. In many parts of the world, such types of death are celebrated and proudly posted to as many 'legitimate' news sites as possible by 'official' semi/governmental agencies.
It's been less than 100 years since the US has had 'strange fruit' herself. I mean, we literally sold postcards with the results on them.
