Denmark Frees Anti-Whaling Activist Paul Watson | News Today | AM14

Anti-whaling activist and founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Group, Paul Watson, was released from detention in Greenland on Tuesday, December 17, after Denmark rejected Japan's extradition request. Watson, 74, had been held since July when his ship docked in Greenland’s capital, Nuuk.

Japan sought Watson’s extradition on charges stemming from a 2010 incident in the Antarctic Ocean, including allegations of breaking into a Japanese vessel, obstructing operations, and causing injury and property damage. However, Denmark’s justice ministry declined the request, citing the age of the case and uncertainties regarding time spent in Greenland detention being deducted from any potential sentence in Japan.

Watson’s lawyer, Jonas Christoffersen, expressed relief, saying they were "happy and relieved that this is over."
