News summary

Paul Watson, the prominent anti-whaling activist and star of 'Whale Wars', has been arrested in Greenland on an international warrant issued by Japan. The 73-year-old was taken into custody by Danish federal police as his ship docked in Nuuk, where he was preparing for a mission to intercept a Japanese whaling vessel. His arrest is believed to be connected to a previously issued Interpol Red Notice for his past anti-whaling activities in the Antarctic. The Captain Paul Watson Foundation expressed shock at the arrest, claiming that the Red Notice had been withdrawn, but now suspects it was made confidential to facilitate his apprehension. Watson's detention will last until a court decides on his extradition to Japan, where he faces charges related to his anti-whaling interventions. His foundation is urging the Danish government to reject Japan's extradition request, labeling it politically motivated and calling for his immediate release.
