Show notes

In today's episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast, we get the rare opportunity to talk to Captain Paul Watson from prison in Nuuk, Greenland. Paul was arrested on July 21, 2024, and he gives us an idea of what life has been like for him since his arrest. For those who support Paul, it is simply nice to hear his voice as he navigates through the bogus charges brought against him by Japan. Paul's next court appearance is on Wednesday, November 13th. Hopefully Greenland and the government of Denmark will do the right thing and release Paul!

E42 - Paul Update with Captain Locky MacLean Aug 20, 2024

Show notes

In this episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast, we catch up with Captain Locky MacLean. Locky gives us an update on Paul's quest for freedom. Unfortunately at the last hearing on August 15th, the judge in Greenland chose to keep Paul in detention longer while the Danish Minister of Justice considers Japan's extradition request. Locky makes the point that while Paul sits in a prison in Nuuk, Greenland, the Japanese whalers are out in the Pacific ocean killing fin whales and searching for new waters to kill more. We need to get Paul freed so that he and his crew can stop Japan from killing more whales.

E40 - FREE PAUL WATSON - with Captain Locky MacLean Jul 28, 2024

Show notes

In today's very important episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast - we get a first hand account of Captain Watson's arrest from Captain Locky MacLean.
On July 21 2024, Captain Paul Watson was arrested by Danish police upon arrival in Nuuk, Greenland, onboard the M/Y John Paul DeJoria. Danish authorities claim that the arrest was made due to an international arrest warrant issued by Japan, related to his anti-whaling campaigns in the Antarctic more than a decade ago.

Paul faces the possibility of extradition to Japan, where he would serve a life sentence.

We need your help to #FREEPAULWATSON.
