Clooney has been a long time activist trying to shed the spotlight on the plight of the people of Darfur and the corrupt Sudanese government. His father, retired newscaster Nick Clooney, who was with him was also arrested. Said George about the ordeal,”It’s actually a humiliating thing to be arrested no matter what you do, but I’m proud to be standing here with my father.” He continued,”When people ask you, ‘Where were you and where did you stand?’ I want to say I was standing on the right side of history.”
Obviously, his getting arrested draws lots of media attention and there was no shortage of media attention today. What do you think of George Clooney getting arrested for taking a stand on this issue?
