Justice for Troy Davis
poster for tomorrow is taking part to Amnesty International campaign: "Justice for Troy Davis!"
Troy Davis, 40, who has always protested his innocence, has been on death row since 1991. He has already faced three execution dates in the past two years. In August 2009 the US Supreme Court ruled that he should be allowed an evidentiary hearing into his claim of innocence.
The evidentiary hearing will be held in a few days, on June the 23rd. For who's not familiar with the US legal system, an evidentiary hearing - which is not a trial - is a formal examination of charges, to receive testimony and make finding of fact as to whether evidence that could not have been obtained at the time of trial clearly establishes petitioner’s innocence.
This means that we have a chance to show to the US authorities that the public, at home as well as internationally, is very attentive and hopeful that the justice system will finally provide a fair process.
Amnesty International is organising a Global Day of Solidarity for Troy Davis on June 22, just one day before the hearing.
poster for tomorrow will be present at the event held in Strasbourg, France.

Background information:
Troy Davis was convicted in 1991 of killing a police officer, Mark Allen MacPhail, in Savannah, Georgia in 1989. However, since the trial most of the witnesses the state relied upon to convict him have retracted their testimony.
Georgia is one of 35 US states to retain the death penalty. Since the USA resumed judicial killing in 1977, more than 1,170 men and women have been put to death there. Georgia accounts for 45 of these executions.
More information about Troy's case can be found here. (ou ici en français).

poster for tomorrow in Paris and Nantes
Poster for tomorrow will be present at OFFF, Paris (24-26 June) and the 4th World Forum on Human Rights, Nantes (28 June - 1 July), putting up on display what we've been able to put together so far since our project started not even one year ago.
We hope that our presence at these events will foster useful collaborations in preparation for the next big event on our agenda on October 10 2010, World against Death Penalty.
If you thought about getting in touch with us to see what you might be able to bring to the project, please drop by and have a chat with us. Please check for more information about these events on our facebook page.
