Georgia death-row inmate Troy Davis\u2019 30-day stay of execution expires today, just days before activists launch a new campaign to try to save his life. Davis was accused of killing a police officer in Georgia in 1991 and sentenced to death. He was on the verge of being executed a month ago when he was granted time to file a habeas corpus petition with the US Supreme Court. He was, however, denied the request for a new hearing. On Tuesday May 19th Amnesty International USA is sponsoring a Global Day of Action for Troy Davis. As part of the actions, groups and individuals all around the world will be organizing demonstrations, vigils, teach-ins or other public events designed to show the state of Georgia that the execution of Troy Davis would be an unacceptable travesty of justice. The activism is based on a belief in Davis\u2019s innocence, as there was no physical evidence against him, and no murder weapon produced either. Out of 9 witnesses who testified against Davis, 7 have recanted or contradicted their testimony. Davis could see a new execution date within a few weeks. But his life could be saved with the stroke of the Georgia Governor\u2019s pen. Until then, his fate hangs in the balance. <\/p>\n
