Anne Hidalgo bestows honorary citizenship on Paul Watson - Paris

Canadian-American environmental, conservation and animal rights activist Paul Watson looks on before being bestowed honorary citizenship of the City of Paris by Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo at the City Hall of Paris on February 3, 2025. Arrested on July 21, 2024 by Danish authorities following an international arrest warrant issued by Japan accusing him of injuring a Japanese sailor during one of his missions, Paul Watson, founder of the NGO Sea Shepherd, was able to count on the support of international public opinion, many environmental activists and the Mayor of Paris. After weeks of detention in Nuuk prison, Denmark finally rejected the extradition request and Paul Watson regained his freedom on December 17, 2024. Finally free and back in Paris, Anne Hidalgo officially granted him honorary citizenship, thus reaffirming the City of Paris' commitment to preserving biodiversity and protecting environmental defenders.
