Anti-whaling activist Paul Watson 'anxious but in fighting spirit', lawyer says

One of the lawyers defending the international environmentalist and anti-whaling activist Paul Watson has spoken of his outrage at his client’s further detention.  A Greenland court has granted a fourth extension of Watson's time in jail for another three weeks, pending a decision on his possible extradition from Greenland to Japan. Watson is accused of injuring a whaler and causing damage to a whaling ship in the Antarctic in 2010.  He and his team claim the charges are politically motivated. William Julié spoke to us in Perspective shortly before news broke that Watson, who had been living in France until his July 21 arrest, has requested French nationality.
