Troy Davis

The following message is from Ben Jealous at the NAACP:

Last night the State of Georgia killed an innocent man.

In recent weeks, we fought hard for the commutation of Troy Davis'
sentence. More than one million of your petitions were delivered. Protests, rallies and vigils were organized around the globe. Tonight,we fasted and prayed together as a community.

Sadly the Georgia Board of Parole denied clemency to Troy Davis and he will very likely be executed tomorrow. Please read the following message that he has sent to his supporters. We will be with him until the end.

Troy Davis is scheduled to be executed on September 21st, just two weeks from today.
