Paul Watson, the prominent anti-whaling activist, has been released from custody in Greenland after months of detention. The Danish Ministry of Justice decided not to extradite the 74-year-old to Japan despite an international arrest warrant. Watson expressed his feeling of triumph, stating that his detention drew attention to Japan’s ongoing illegal whaling practices. He was arrested in July while attempting to refuel his ship in Greenland. Watson is well-known for his controversial methods in marine activism and has a history with legal troubles, especially regarding Japan’s whaling activities.
