Activist Paul Watson remains detained

The court in Greenland has determined that the activist and founder of the organization Captain Paul Watson Foundation, Paul Watson, should continue to be detained.

This was announced by the Greenland Police.

Paul Watson will remain detained until October 23 to ensure his presence in connection with the decision on the question of extradition to Japan.

Paul Watson has appealed the decision to the Greenland Court of Appeals, which will then consider the case.

The 73-year-old activist was arrested at the end of July when he arrived in Nuuk.
