DEATH Row Scot Kenny Richey has set-up networking websites in a bid to attract new supporters to the campaign to clear his name.
Richey, who was raised in Edinburgh, has set-up personal pages on websites MySpace and Bebo.
Supporters believe the rapidly growing websites will allow the campaign to attract new recruits.
The move into "social network" campaigning in Richey's case comes just ahead of the 21st anniversary of Richey's initial arrest following the death of three-year-old Cynthia Collins in a house fire which Richey's supporters claim was a tragic accident.
Karen Torley, Richey's former fiancee who has continued campaigning on his behalf, said: "Having spent the last 21 years in jail, Kenny has never seen or used the internet - but we've uploaded all the information about the case and he can pass on requests and preferences to us to do it for him."
John Watson, Programme Director, Scotland for Amnesty International said: "After 21 years in jail, following a shoddy trial and shoddy justice, Kenny Richey deserves to be heard."
