"American actor George Clooney and his father, Nick Clooney, were handcuffed and led away during Friday's protest."

Actor George Clooney and several other prominent activists have been arrested during a protest in front of the Sudan Embassy in Washington, D.C.

They were put in plastic handcuffs and removed from the steps of the embassy after accusing Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir of provoking a humanitarian crisis and blocking food and aid from entering the Nuba Mountains in the county’s border region with South Sudan.

The arrests began after protesters were warned three times not to cross a police line. They were rounded up andput into a U.S. Secret Service van as others in the crowd chanted "al-Bashir to the ICC." - CBC
