Police in Washington DC have arrested a 82-year-old Oscar-winning actress, Jane Fonda for a fifth time on Friday, December 20th over ongoing climate change march.
WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that Jane Fonda had earlier given a speech in front of a sign that read, ‘Happy 82nd birthday, Jane!’ before she was arrested by the police.
According to reports, Fonda has been protesting weekly during her Fire Drill Fridays since announcing she was moving to Washington “to be closer to the epicentre of the fight for our climate.”
