Former wife of Frank Sinatra Mia Farrow offers her freedom for release of Darfur rebel

Actress Mia Farrow has offered her freedom in exchange for the release of a Darfur rebel. The former wife of Frank Sinatra wrote a letter to Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, requesting that she be imprisoned in the place of Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) Humanitarian Coordinator Suleiman Jamous.

Jamous has been imprisoned for more than 13 months in a U.N. hospital after he was moved without permission. Jamous needs a stomach biopsy but the procedure cannot be performed there.

Farrow, who is a good will ambassador to the U.N. children’s agency, wrote: “Before his seizure, Mr. Jamous played a critical role in bringing the SLA to the negotiating table and in seeking reconciliation between its divided rival factions. I am therefore offering to take Mr. Jamous’s place, to exchange my freedom for his in the knowledge of his importance to the civilians of Darfur and in the conviction the he will apply his energies towards creating the just and lasting peace that the Sudanese people deserve and hope for.”

Farrow is the former wife of actor Frank Sinatra and has 15 children, 11 of whom are adopted. She most recently appeared in the 2006 movie “The Omen.”
