USA: DON'T EXECUTE TROY DAVIS

Troy Anthony Davis has spent 19 years on death row in Georgia, USA. There is no physical evidence linking him to the crime and four of the witnesses on whose testimony he was convicted in 1991 later admitted in court that they lied. Despite the many and persistent doubts about his guilt, a recent ruling by a judge in Georgia has put Troy back on track for execution.
