Actress Daryl Hannah Arrested at White House Pipeline Protest (Video)

Actress Daryl Hannah has been arrested during a sit-in in front of the White House protesting a pipeline expansion project that would greatly increase the amount of oil imported by the United States from Alberta oil sands in Canada.
U.S. Park Police handcuffed Hannah after she refused to move off of the sidewalk.
A police spokesperson said that Hannah paid a $100 fine and was released from custody.


If approved by the state department, the Keystone pipeline will funnel gas over 1,600 miles — from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
Hannah is certainly no stranger to facing the fuzz for environmental causes. In 2009, she was arrested for an act of civil disobedience at a mountain removal post.

Daryl Hannah Arrested At Keystone XL Pipeline Protest (VIDEO)

Actress Daryl Hannah has joined the over 500 people who have been arrested since August 20 for a sit-in protest outside the White House.

The "Splash" and "Wall Street" star was one of nearly 100 people who were arrested on Tuesday for protesting the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, according to a press release from Rainforest Action Network.

The Associated Press reports that Hannah sat by the White House sidewalk and refused to move under orders from U.S. Park Police.

According to Financial Post, Hannah shouted, “No to the Keystone pipeline” as she was being handcuffed.

The planned pipeline will run from the Canadian tar sands in Alberta to refineries on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. It is currently waiting on approval from the White House.
