Jane Fonda Arrested While Protesting in Washington D.C.

Jane Fonda is under arrest.

The 81-year-old actress and activist was arrested on Friday (October 11) while protesting alongside Oil Change International in Washington, D.C.

“Today, the United States Capitol Police arrested 16 individuals for unlawfully demonstrating on the East Front of the U.S. Capitol,” spokeswoman Eva Malecki confirmed in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

All were charged with crowding, obstructing or incommoding.

“I will be on the Capitol every Friday, rain or shine, inspired and emboldened by the incredible movement our youth have created. I can no longer stand by and let our elected officials ignore – and even worse – empower – the industries that are destroying our planet for profit. We can not continue to stand for this,” Jane previously said on Thursday (October 10).
