Paul Watson, a prominent environmental activist and anti-whaling campaigner, must remain in custody in Greenland as authorities consider Japan's extradition request until early September.
Japan argues that whale meat is integral to its culture, emphasizing a sustainable approach to whale utilization as they remove themselves from the International Whaling Commission.
Watson's arrest stems from a 2010 incident where he allegedly obstructed a Japanese whaling ship’s operations, leading to a warrant issued by Japan.
As an influential figure in the fight against whaling, Watson has garnered support from various celebrities and featured prominently in the series 'Whale Wars'.
