Paul Watson, the founder of Sea Shepherd, is facing extradition from Denmark to Japan, where he could serve 15 years for alleged actions against whaling.
His arrest has prompted international attention, with European Parliament officials protesting and calling for his release in front of the Danish embassy in Brussels.
Critics argue that the prosecution of Watson is part of a politically motivated effort to legitimize Japan's whaling practices, which violate an international moratorium.
Watson's campaign against whaling spans decades, characterized by direct action tactics including disruption of whaling operations and aggressive actions against whaling vessels.
