The Greenlandic courts have extended the detention of environmental activist Paul Watson for another 28 days as they await the Danish government's decision on Japan's extradition request. Watson, founder of Sea Shepherd, was arrested while trying to intercept a Japanese whaling factory ship and faces accusations stemming from his anti-whaling activities. His legal team argues that the extradition request is based on false claims, and they plan to present video evidence to support their case. Meanwhile, Watson has garnered significant international support, with a petition for his release collecting over 100,000 signatures.
