Paul Watson’s Detention Extended Amid Legal Battle Against Extradition to Japan
Eco-activist Paul Watson remains in custody in Greenland until December 4 as Danish authorities deliberate his extradition to Japan. The founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has been detained since July 21, accused of charges he denies. His defense team argues that he has already served the required time even if found guilty. Attorneys claim the charges are merely a façade to undermine his anti-whaling activism, asserting that a fair trial in Japan is unattainable and could jeopardize his life.
