The Atlanta IWW's statement in defense of Troy Davis is at
http://www.facebook.com/notes/atlanta-industrial-workers-of-the-world/atlanta-iww-statement-on-troy-davis/165972083486201
Some excerpts:
Troy Anthony Davis is obviously the most innocent man on the face of this earth.
Yet he continues to face down his executioner. There is no physical evidence against him. No court testimony which is not tainted by obvious bias. No doubting that Sylvester Coles, one of those to testify in court and one of the few who did not recant his testimony, identified that he himself was the shooter.
... The Atlanta Branch of the Industrial Workers of the World stands in solidarity with Troy Davis and his family. We call for the indefinite stay of his death sentence, and the death sentences of all those imprisoned by the laws of a country which prosecutes innocence by the testimony of the guilty. We call for his immediate release, without exception, without hesitation, and without doubt.
The IWW demands that the State of Georgia will recognize the impermissible and unacceptable nature of the “evidence” and testimony submitted in court against him....
