A protest outside of the Sudanese embassy this morning resulted in the arrest of five members of Congress and two Darfur activists.
Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD), Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), Jerry Fowler of Save Darfur Coalition, and John Prendergast of the Enough Project led the protest.
Following speeches by the protest's headliners, the group stepped onto the property of the embassy and was given three warnings by the U.S. Secret Service to leave. As the protesters stood defiant, police handcuffed each of the leaders and escorted them into a Secret Service vehicle.

After the screening of The Reckoning at the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival, Enough’s Laura Heaton had a chance to speak with the International Criminal Court’s deputy prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda.
