Police arrested George Clooney, his dad, Nick, and other protesters outside the Embassy of Sudan in Washington this morning.
It has to be mentioned that Martin Luther King III, NAACP President Ben Jealous and Congressman Jim Moran were among those protesting with Clooney, according to WUSA TV. The protesters are demanding immediate action to stop Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, from blocking food and other humanitarian aid.
"This is for the government in Khartoum to stop randomly killing its own innocent men, women and children. Stop raping them and stop starving them. That's all we ask," Clooney stated before being taken away for booking. Police warned the group three times to move.
