Update: This is not the first time Jim Moran has been involved with the Sudanese Embassy. In April 2006, he was also arrested for protesting there. Archives from his official website list “Darfur” as one of his ongoing issues. This page is no longer listed on his current site, but can be found here.

Excerpt:

“Congressman Moran has undertaken a wide variety of actions to pressure the Sudanese Government to end the violence.  In April 2006, he joined with several other colleagues to protest at the Sudanese Embassy.  They were arrested, and press coverage of the event sent a loud and clear message to the Sudanese Government that their actions were being watched closely.  The Congressman also spoke at a Save Darfur Coalition rally of more than 10,000 people at the Capitol.

He continues to speak out on Darfur — on the House floor, in briefings with other Members, and in nationally televised interviews.  He strongly urges the Administration and the international community to take firm action to stop the violence.  The Congressman believes that U.S. leadership is needed to press for an end to the genocide, and he will continue to speak out against the atrocities and to press for humanitarian assistance for those victimized by the violence.”
