This morning, Captain Paul Watson was arrested in Nuuk, Greenland by Danish federal police, who boarded the M/Y John Paul DeJoria as soon as it docked. The crew had stopped to refuel while en route to the Northwest Passage as part of #OpKangeiMaru, our campaign aimed at intercepting Japan’s newly-built factory ship, the Kangei Maru, in the North Pacific. It is believed that this arrest is connected to a previous Red Notice issued for Watson’s anti-whaling activities in the Antarctic. This development comes as a surprise since the Foundation’s lawyers had reported that the Red Notice had been withdrawn. However, it appears that Japan had made the notice confidential to facilitate Paul’s travel for the purpose of making an arrest. Although Japan has operated in violation of the ICJ ruling for several years, they ceased Antarctic high-seas whaling in 2016 and now only hunt whales within their territorial waters. CPWF suspects that Japan intends to resume high-seas whaling in the Southern Ocean and North Pacific by 2025, and believes the reactivation of the Red Notice against Captain Watson is politically motivated, coinciding with the launch of the new factory ship. Paul is currently in custody, and it is unclear if Denmark will extradite him to Japan. We need Paul released immediately! We urge the Danish government to release Paul and reject this politically motivated request. #FREEPAULWATSON

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: DENMARK EXTENDS PAUL WATSON'S DETENTION UNTIL OCTOBER 2ND 🚨 Paul will remain in custody until October 2nd as the court seeks more evidence. Our lawyer is challenging this decision, arguing that the conditions for his detention aren’t met due to a lack of concrete evidence and the nature of the alleged crime. Under Japanese and Greenlandic law, mere charges aren’t enough—there must be actual evidence. While the Japanese were allowed to present their version of events through video evidence, our footage was still not permitted in the proceedings. The lawyer is also emphasizing that the incident’s severity should be carefully considered, especially since the stink bomb caused no harm. Even if there’s a claim of potential danger, the actual impact must be weighed to justify keeping Paul in detention. We stand with Paul in this ongoing battle for justice. ✊ #FreePaulWatson

The Laws of Ecology and the Survival of the Human Species: The law of diversity: The strength of any ecosystem is based on biodiversity. The decreased level of biodiversity on the planet today is our most serious problem, even more serious than global warming. The law of interdependence: all species are interdependent; they need each other. The law of finite resources: growth has a limit and there is a limit to the earth's carrying capacity. In nature, everything is connected. Every being, no matter how small, contributes to the intricate dance of life. Our actions echo through this interconnected web, shaping the destiny of our planet. From the air we breathe to the waste we create, each element has a place in the broader canvas of nature. Captain Paul Watson’s tireless efforts to defend marine life embody this truth, as he fights to protect the ecosystems that sustain us all. An ocean guardian should not be behind bars! Contact the Danish Ministry of Justice and demand that they #freepaulwatson now! 📷 Dior Sheen/CPWF

It has been 3 weeks since the legendary ocean protector and founder of the CPWF, Captain Paul Watson, was arrested in Nuuk, Greenland. He is currently being wrongfully detained for his actions against illegal whaling. Over a 50+ year career, Paul has advocated for and used non-violent direct action tactics to save thousands of whales from illegal whaling. Through his work, he has instilled the importance of protecting our oceans to generations of young people. As Paul says: “If the oceans die, we die.” Now, he faces the possibility of extradition to Japan, a life sentence in prison, and the possibility of never seeing his family again.
