Amnesty International: Stop The Execution Of Troy Davis

An urgent appeal from Amnesty International.

We are urgently campaigning to prevent the execution of Troy Davis in Georgia, USA. Troy was sentenced to death after being convicted of a crime he maintains he did not commit.

In the 17 years he has been on death row seven of the nine non-police witnesses have recanted or changed their testimony, several citing police coercion. Troy Davis was granted a stay of execution on September 23, less than two hours before he was due to be executed. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court have declined Davis’ appeal for a proper hearing or a re-trial. The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles have set his new execution date in Georgia as 7pm local Georgia time on 27 October. Troy’s life again hangs by a thread.

We are doing everything in our power to prevent the execution of Troy Davis, help us
