Anti-Whaling Campaigner Paul Watson Arrested In Greenland

Hand out screen grab shows Paul Watson being arrested in greenland and being escorted off boat. Head down and handcuffed, NGO Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson, 73, followed Danish police officers to their vehicle in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, an autonomous territory under Danish rule. On Sunday, July 21, 2024, law enforcement officers boarded the vessel John Paul DeJoria, on which the American-Canadian activist was sailing. The reason: an Interpol Red Notice, an international arrest warrant issued at Japan's request 12 years ago for anti-whaling activities in the Antarctic that allegedly caused damage and injury in 2010. The activist's stopover in Nuuk was to refuel before continuing on to the North Pacific, as part of a mission targeting the Kangei Maru, Japan's new whaling factory ship. Currently in pre-trial detention, the activist faces extradition to Japan and a potentially harsh sentence there. Photo by Sea Sheperd France via ABACAPRESS.COM
