Greenland Extends Detention of Anti-Whaling Activist Watson

ai generated text

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.

    1. The court in Greenland has today decided that Paul Watson shall continue to be detained until December 4, 2024 in order to ensure his presence in connection with the decision on extradition.
  2. Julie Stage
    1. We don't find that the detention is proportional even if he was guilty of the alleged crimes.
    2. We are disappointed, but I must say it doesn't come as a complete surprise to us given the previous hearings.

    1. It's definitely been a really harrowing last few months.

    1. The more time that passes, the greater the sense of injustice.
    2. In 10 days, it will be four months since he was jailed, which corresponds to the maximum sentence he would have been handed if he had been convicted.
