You can't keep a good man down. George Clooney was arrested Friday for participating in a staged protest outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D.C., organized to bring attention to that country's president, Omar al-Bashir, provoking a crisis with his blockade of humanitarian aide. Regarding the situation, Clooney, 50, had said earlier in interviews that if steps were not taken in the next three to four months, "We're going to have a real humanitarian disaster." He also said he is impressed with President Barack Obama's personal engagement on the situation in Sudan. On Wednesday, the actor testified before Congress about the "campaign of murder" in Sudan. As he was being taken away Friday morning, after authorities warned him three times to leave, Clooney said, "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," reports USA Today. Handcuffed and arrested along with him were his father, journalist Nick Clooney; U.S. Rep. Jim Moran (Dem.) of Virginia; NAACP President Ben Jealous, among others, reports the Associated Press. They were then placed in a Secret Service van.
喬治·克魯尼（George Clooney）在上周五因參與反對蘇丹種族沖突的人道主義示威活動而被捕。這次示威活動旨在抗議蘇丹政府對人民施加的暴行，以及該政府阻撓并封鎖食品和援助進入該國南科爾多凡的努巴山區的行為，組織者之一的克魯尼在華盛頓蘇丹領事館外被捕并被戴上手銬，同時被捕的還有克魯尼78歲的父親尼克·克魯尼，他也是一位新聞記者。
Max Milien, spokesman for the Secret Service, told PEOPLE the actor was being cooperative. "He's being charged currently with disorderly crossing of a police line, which is a misdemeanor and he will be transported to the second district of the Metropolitan Police Department for processing," Milien said. A rep for the actor released a statement after the arrest, stating, "They were protesting the violence committed by the government of Sudan on its own innocent men, women and children. They were demanding they allow humanitarian aid into the country before it becomes the largest humanitarian crisis in the world." The arrest was not unexpected, Earlier in the day, The Washington Post reported, "By standing on the embassy's private property, they're likely to get cuffed, arrested and charged."
在其被捕之后，克魯尼的經紀人發布聲明闡稱“他們是在抗議蘇丹政府對其無辜的人民作出的暴行，他們要求在發生最大規模的人道主義危機前，對這個國家提供人道主義援助。”
Clooney was eventually released Friday afternoon.
而在周五下午，克魯尼已經被釋放。
