Day of Action for Troy Davis
Primary tabs
On Tuesday, May 19, in solidarity with Amnesty International’s Global Day of Action for Troy Davis, Rochester’s Judicial Process Commission sponsored a noontime vigil on Exchange Street in front of the Hall of Justice. Approximately thirty people gathered with signs and t-shirts that denounce the inhumanity of the Death Penalty and call for justice for one Georgia Death Row prisoner in particular, Troy Davis. High school and college students, long-time human rights activists, and concerned citizens were present and for twenty minutes in downtown Rochester, they stood with demonstrators from around the world that included 43 states and five continents to say Justice Matters for this innocent man.
