Greenland Extends Detention of Anti-Whaling Activist Watson

Paul Watson, a US-Canadian anti-whaling activist and former Sea Shepherd captain, has been detained in Greenland since July after arriving to refuel. This is due to a 2012 Japanese arrest warrant issued against him, following a reported clash between Japanese whaling vessels and Sea Shepherd in 2010. A court in Greenland initially ordered Watson to remain detained, and since then his detention has been extended five times.
