Congressman Charles Rangel Arrested at Sudanese Embassy

Tuesday 13 July 2004

Congressman Charles B. Rangel (D-NY) was arrested at the Sudanese Embassy,
2210 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington D.C., at 12:35 (EST).
Congressman Rangel, along with other members of the Congressional Black
Caucus (CBC), are calling for an end to the genocide in Sudan. The CBC is
demanding sanctions against the government of Sudan. Many of the protesters
are planning to get arrested. In addition to being arrested, radio talk show
host and civil rights leader, Joe Madison, will launch a hunger strike.
Madison demands an immediate end to the Sudanese government's obstruction of
humanitarian aid to victims of the Sudanese genocide. Madison says if trucks
filled with food and medicines are not allowed through to the victims before
rainy season begins hundreds of thousands of people could die needlessly.

Sudan Campaign organizers pledge to continue demonstrations until the
Sudanese government stops the genocide and returns over one million
displaced civilians to their homes. Demonstrations are also planned in
Boston, New York City, San Antonio, San Diego, and Toronto. On Wednesday,
July 14 the Hon. Robert Edgar, former Member of Congress and current
President of the National Council of Churches will be arrested in front of
the Sudanese Embassy at noon.

The Sudan Campaign calls on the Security Council of the United Nations
to adopt Chapter 7 sanctions on Sudan, to suspend the membership of the
government for Sudan on the U. N. Human Rights Commission, and to enable
slave and other victims of the Sudanese government's declared jihad against
Black Africans to return to their homes.

The Sudan Campaign is the direct action effort of a coalition of
organizations working on behalf black Africans in Sudan that have suffered
violence and slavery at the hands of their government. Partner organizations
include The Center for Religious Freedom at Freedom House, the Institute on
Religion and Democracy, the American Anti-slavery group, the Wilberforce
Project, Christian Solidarity International and others.
