George Clooney and various members of Congress, Martin Luther King III as well as other human rights leaders have been Arrested today.
They where protesting to help save the lives of 500,000 people in Sudan, arrests were made for civil disobedience after refusing to leave the scene.
Bashir sent in forces to BOMB fields last July and August, which has prevented the Sudanese from growing crops, leading to a dire food shortage.
USAID has now said that this blockade will SOON bring the regions to near famine!
Tom Andrews spoke to the crowd:
"It is unacceptable and inexcusable that Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir—an internationally criminal wanted for war crimes and genocide—is getting away with bombing, starving and displacing hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children in Sudan's Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile State."
Really hope that United States steps in soon to help, before it's too late!
