The stay of execution for Troy Davis which had been ordered by the Supreme Court is coming to an end soon, and he could be executed at any moment after that. More than ever, it is essential to defend him and obtain a re-trial and suspend his execution.

Amnesty International is organizing a Global Day of Action for Troy Davis. Help him. Keep the pressure on. Don’t let the US be a country where innocents (or anyone for that matter) can be legally killed by the State.

End institutional racism in the Austrian criminal justice system April 28, 2009

Research by Amnesty International has found that institutional racism in the Austrian police and judicial organs is resulting in their failure to provide the same quality of service to all persons.
Foreigners and non-white Austrians are more likely to be suspected of crime and less likely to have their rights respected when they report it. They are also more likely to be ill-treated by the police and less likely to obtain redress.

Write a letter to Austria’s Minister of Interior asking him to address institutional racism within the Austrian police and ensure that all allegations of racist misconduct by law enforcement officials are effectively investigated and appropriately punished.
