Mia Farrow wants to be a political prisoner

It's been reported that Mia Farrow has offered to swap her freedom for that of Suleiman Jamous, a Sudanese Liberation Army rebel figure who's been more or less imprisoned for over a year. Farrow suggested the trade to Sudan's president, saying in a letter, "I am therefore offering to take Mr Jamous' place, to exchange my freedom for his in the knowledge of his importance to the civilians of Darfur and in the conviction that he will apply his energies toward creating the just and lasting peace that the Sudanese people deserve and hope for."

Groups have been trying to get him released since his capture. Farrow's gesture is certainly the most dramatic. It's unclear how many international laws this violates, if any at all (I'll ask a friend later). But she's probably not kidding. This woman has just raised the bar for celebrity activism. Angelina Jolie's gonna have a tough time topping her.
