‘I Desire France as Our Home’

Paul Watson, the renowned activist, faced disappointment in a Greenlandic court where he was informed of an extended prison stay. The 73-year-old must remain imprisoned in Nuuk as Danish authorities consider Japan’s extradition request. With past allegations stemming from his anti-whaling efforts, Watson continues to fight for his release, even seeking political asylum in France.

Facing comparisons to unrelated cases in court and asserting his innocence, Watson makes a plea for justice and condemns the Japanese whaling industry. His bid for asylum reflects a desire to unite with France, where his family resides, amid uncertainties from the French government.
