Raise Your Voice Against Death Penalty! STREET ACTION, 19th MAY!!!

2009.05.15. 15:15 | dorisz1987 | Szólj hozzá!

Street Action! The Multi-Kulti Group of AI HU is organizing a march on 19th May for Troy Davis. This action is not only about the petition for him, but everybody who cannot agree with the death penalty is really welcome to join the action.

At the beginning of this month, the following story shocked Amnesty International worldwide.

Delara Darabi, a 22-year-old Iranian woman who had been convicted of a crime she allegedly committed while aged 17, was executed on Friday 1 May despite a two-month stay ordered by the Head of the Judiciary in her case on 13th April.

Her execution has sparked international outrage.

Amnesty International members around the world took part in actions to pay tribute to Delara Darabi and oppose the death penalty against juveniles in Iran on 8th May.

We mustn’t let these cases go on. Here is an opportunity for you too, to raise your voice against death penalty.

 

Background:

The Troy Davis case concerns the case of Troy Anthony Davis, a former sports coach from the U.S. state of Georgia, who was convicted and sentenced to death in 1991 for the August 19, 1989 murder of off-duty Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail solely on the basis of eyewitness testimony. No physical evidence linked him to the murder, and the weapon used in the crime was never found. Throughout the trial and subsequent appeals, Davis steadfastly maintained his innocence, claiming he was wrongfully convicted of the crime as a result of false identification.

After he spent 18 years in the deathrow, he is facing again imminent execution. The Global Action Day for Troy Davis is 19th May. It is the time when you can make difference, and raise your voice against death penalty.

The march will be held on 19th May from 3pm-6pm.

The meeting point will be on Vörösmarty tér, at the Lion fountain (close to the exit of the metro)

The route is the following: Vörösmarty tér – Deák utca – Deák tér – Erzsébet tér (next to Gödör) – Hercegprímás utca – Szabadság tér, US Embassy.

If you cannot agree with death penalty, join the action, because we can make bigger impact if there are more people!!!
