Excerpt:
Watson’s ship was attempting to “intercept Japan’s newly-built factory whaling ship Kangei Maru in the North Pacific” when the ship stopped in Greenland to refuel, according to a statement from the Captain Paul Watson Foundation.
Watson has the support of public figures, including actor Pierce Brosnan and French president Emmanuel Macron, who are calling for his release.
Brosnan, 71, showed his support for Watson on Monday, Aug. 12, with a Facebook photo of the actor holding up a piece of paper that says “#FreePaulWatson” on it.
