A 74-year-old anti-whaling activist was freed from prison in Greenland

A 74-year-old anti-whaling activist, Paul Watson was freed from prison in Greenland where he was held by Danish authorities under a request of extradition made by Japan in relation to criminal charges dating back a decade.

When released, Watson told the AFP news agency that his time in prison highlighted “illegal” Japanese whaling and had been “an extension” of his campaign. At a previous custodial hearing, Watson – mentioned the reality TV show Whale Wars in which he starred – told the court that the case was “about revenge for a televised show that extremely embarrassed Japan in the eyes of the world.”

Japan initially withdrew from the International Whaling Commission and resumed commercial whaling in 2019 following a 30-year hiatus… sad but true that this is still happening in 2025!

Whale hunting should be completely banned!
