Anti-Whaling Campaigner Paul Watson Arrested In Greenland

File photo dated May 18, 2016 shows Paul Watson attending Positive Planet Conference during the 69th annual Cannes Film Festival in Cap d'Antibes, France. Greenland police said they apprehended veteran environmental activist and anti-whaling campaigner Paul Watson on an international arrest warrant issued by Japan. Watson, a 73-year-old Canadian-American citizen, is a former head of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society whose direct action tactics, including high-seas confrontations with whaling vessels, have drawn support from A-list celebrities and featured in the reality television series “Whale Wars.” He was arrested Sunday when his ship docked in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, a police statement said.
