Anti-Whaling Activist Paul Watson Returns to France After Danish Release

Paul Watson, freed after five months in detention, arrives in France following Denmark's rejection of Japan's extradition request.

Paul Watson, founder of Sea Shepherd, was detained in Greenland for 149 days due to a Japanese extradition request tied to a 2010 whaling confrontation.
Denmark declined Japan's extradition demand, citing insufficient grounds, leading to Watson's release earlier this week.
Watson arrived at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport on Friday, where supporters greeted him with applause and celebrations.
A rally is scheduled in Paris on Saturday to celebrate Watson’s freedom and his decades-long efforts to protect marine life.
Watson's legal team plans to challenge the Interpol Red Notice and Japanese arrest warrant, which he argues are unjustified.
