VOICED: George Clooney arrestado

George Clooney, known for his charm, was arrested during a protest at the Sudanese Embassy in Washington. He was demonstrating against alleged war crimes by Khartoum in South Kordofan, Sudan. Clooney, a UN ambassador, had recently visited the region, witnessing the dire situation caused by conflict between Khartoum's forces and rebels. The conflict has led to famine and suffering among civilians. Upon returning to the U.S., Clooney accused Sudan's military of war crimes. South Sudan gained independence last year after a long civil war. Several U.S. representatives and activists were also arrested during the protest.
