Anyone who’s anyone in the human rights sector seems to be getting arrested these days at the Sudanese Embassy on Massachusetts Avenue near Sheridan Circle. Just yesterday, the founders of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream were arrested on the embassy steps protesting the humanitarian crisis in Sudan’s Dafur region, something the House of Representatives classified as “genocide” in a recent resolution.

Who will be next? Crosswalk.com says the arrests are becoming “trendy.” Those arrested so far include Reps. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), Bobby Rush (D-Ill.), and Joe Hoeffel (D-Pa.), with wife Francesca; former Reps. Bob Edgar and Walter Fauntroy; and others, including activist-turned-comedian Dick Gregory and numerous religious officials, have been hauled off the steps by police.

DCist notes that while the Dafur protests are sporadic but pressing, recent Falun Dafa protests outside the Chinese Embassy are very well choreographed. Oddly enough, Falun Dafa protesters were spotted outside the South African Embassy last week for an undetermined reason.

And on another note, the Republic of Sudan‘s embassy website uses fonts very similar to that of the Christian Science Monitor.
