  1. Last night, in International Waters, the Icelandic Coast Guard seized the Bandero, removing the Captain Paul Watson Foundation's conservation vessel from the front lines of Operation 86 after weeks of pursuing Iceland's commercial whaling fleet, conducted by Kristján Loftsson's company, Hvalur hf.

    Throughout the campaign, the Bandero was closely monitored by the Icelandic Coast Guard. youtube.com/watch?v=o6MUi-tH_Rs youtube.com/watch?v=1Lccjb05F9c #whaling #whales #CPWF #WWF #sea #SeaShepherd #climate

    Un navire exploité par la Fondation Paul Watson et Sea Shepherd France a « délibérément percuté » un navire de pêche de la société Aker Qrill en Antarctique le 31 mars.

    Paul Watson a défendu cette action, affirmant que les chalutiers de krill épuisent les zones d’alimentation utilisées par les baleines à bosse et les rorquals communs, les manchots, les phoques et les oiseaux marins.

  3. Japan asks Denmark to extradite anti-whaling activist #PaulWatson

    Denmark announced Thursday that it has received Japan's extradition request for anti-whaling activist Paul Watson, who was arrested in Greenland last month on an international arrest warrant. Watson, the 73-year-old founder of #SeaShepherd, is facing charges related to a 2010 confrontation with Japanese #whaling ships, raising concerns over his potential extradition and the motivations behind Japan's request.

    "#Denmark's justice ministry said Thursday that it had received Japan's extradition request for anti-whaling activist Paul Watson, who was detained in #Greenland last month on an international arrest warrant.

    "Watson, the 73-year-old American-Canadian founder of the Sea Shepherd activist group, was arrested on July 21 in Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, over a 2010 altercation with Japanese whaling ships.

    "Watson, who featured in the reality TV series '#WhaleWars', founded Sea Shepherd and the Captain Paul Watson Foundation (#CPWF), and is known for #DirectAction tactics including confrontations with whaling ships at sea.

    "'The Ministry of Justice received a formal extradition request regarding Paul Watson from the Japanese authorities yesterday,' the ministry told AFP in an email."

    [...]

    "'#Japan has a personal vendetta against #PaulWatson, and this so-called offence is the pretext for revenge against a man who defied and therefore humiliated them,' [Francois Zimeray] told AFP.

    "He said an extradition to Japan would be a violation of the European Convention on #HumanRights, since 'the country does not respect international standards on fair trials and prisons.'"
