George Clooney Arrested



It’s no secret that George Clooney has been an activist on Human Rights for many years and like many fellow Hollywood actors has tried to use his name and fame to try to make a difference.

Just yesterday the 50 year old actor met with Barack Obama and warned the US Congress of the issues in Sudan in hope to bring awareness to the Humanitarian crisis saying, "It is a campaign of murder and fear and displacement and starvation"

Just a couple of hours ago, Clooney and other protestors including his father Nick Clooney, and Martin Luther King 111 have been arrested.
The protestors gathered outside the Sudanese Embassy in Washington and following 3 warnings not to cross the police line, were arrested and taken away in the back of US Secret Service van.

The actor had previously said he wanted to draw more attention to the violence in Sudan, and with the news of his arrest spreading like wild fire I’m sure it will gain all media outlets attention. Good work Clooney.
