Hi Richard, I have put a site about Troy, together for a university project. I feel it is unique, and I hope it will get people interested and supporting the cause. The site is at http://ss-designs.co.uk/troyblog
Would it be possible to use some off of your blog photos ? I am adding images etc. for people to use on the ste. You will also be able to add any if you wish.

Best wishes

Thankyou for a great photo! I've been corresponding with Troy for over a year now and his letters never cease to amaze me. Never a word of reproach to the police or law officials. He writes of his profound wish for justice, not for just himself but also for Officer McPhail's family. He is always gentle and never bitter ... and he remembers what I have written in previous letters and never forgets to pass on his best wishes to my husband and to my family. I always look forward to his letters but feel so sad he's still writing them from prison. I sincerely wish for his release soon and a return to his great sister and his family. Wynn M Chapman

Thanks for this photoblog so we can all follow this very important journey you took. Let us hope it is also productive in that Troy will finally be granted a new and fair trial. I can't imagine what goes through his mind in the moments, hours, days and years that he is locked up - amazing that he can still smile. But now he has reason to hope, finally, due to the tireless support of his loved ones, you, and all others who have fought for him - thanks to everyone at Amnesty for your hard work. May Troy be vindicated and stand a free man again soon!

It's weird but nice at the same time to see Troy's smile in spite of his situation. What you all are doing means everything to him. I think that receiving the help from the others is one of the most beautiful feeling one can feel while we are in this world.

Love (and support) from Italy xx

I guess this is one of the reasons why life is so rich and wonderful: You have the dark death penalty and then you have Troy's beautiful smile and then you have the curiosity look of that lovely goat!

Congratulations Richard for your work!!! You are big in sharing your time with the good cause! I congratulate you again and it is good to know that you have the feet put in the land and the world is not indifferent for you. You are a great human being! We all wait that the Mr Troy Davis has the justice that as a human being and inhabitant of this planet deserves, THE LIFE and judged with many responsibility as if it was a question of the life of one itself. Masters of Georgia's law USA, you can do the correct thing!.

Troy seems happy! - in what their situation allows it to him. This support manifestation with that visit gives him a light of hope, to him and his family, to continue fighting for his innocence.
I’m very happy for you, for Amnesty International and, obviously, for Troy. These actions contribute considerably to this world so that it can change some day... I trust
We are very proud of you , Rich!

Once again: excuse me my bad english... Just I want to express my support in some way ;)

A BIG hug from Colombia!

Hi Richard. First I must congratulate you for everything you are doing. Sometimes being a known person has benefits in the things you want to communicate. I congratulate you for what you do.

And second, I think this case is the example of the injustices committed by the humans, abuse of power and besides racism. I think Troy at innocent as you have said, and just to prove that they can not be wrong even have arrested him. Sometimes the people don´t understand some things... and makes mistakes... Like this ... With Troy. I can´t believe this , in things like that i start to think in the human race. The people whi has the power acts like stupids sometimes, and don´t represent the people. This is a mistake... they have the wrong men... and still in their idea.

I like to be able to support these causes and we can support us too.

I love this photo...Troy is smiling... he has hope i think...
We hope that this case finished soon, and he can free.

A lot of love

Dear Rich: Thanks for the updating, the pics are amazing, but there is a pic that impressed me very much: the pic of the toilette, one sink for "White" people and other for coluor people,... how horrible it must have been living racism!
Unfortunately racism still exists in the world, and we must fight against any discrimination, in a peaceful manner.

All my respect and admiration to you and the persons of the delegation that visited Troy. You make a big work!

Greetings from Santiago de Chile.

Hi, I have a stupid question about the pic with the white flagpole. Maybe, because my english isn´t good enough. Do they execute the people really there in the green grass? What I also, don´t understand from the U.S.A. is how often do I hear american politics saying: In god we trust. So, how are they able to accept murder aka death penalty as a respectable punishment? And if politics don´t trust in god, don´t they think it´s ridiculous to have this punishment, when even animals don´t do things like that. It looks like animals have more brain than humans. Ok, I really don´t like death penalty! It´s nice to see Troy Davis smile. Thanks, for the photoblog, Richard.
