Whaling activist Watson freed after Denmark rejects extradition request

Anti-whaling activist Paul Watson was on Tuesday released from detention after Denmark refused a Japanese extradition request over a 2010 clash with whalers. Watson had been held in Greenland since July on a 2012 Japanese warrant accusing him of causing damage to a whaling ship and injuring a whaler.

The Joe Biden administration in the United States has come on the same page as the Japanese government led by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on the supposed exclusion of anti-whaling launguage in the crucial Indo-Pacific Economic Framework.
