Environmental Hero Captain Paul Watson Facing Possible Life Sentence - A radio interview with Lamya Essemlali President Sea Shepherd France + Rising Tide's 2023 podcast with Captain Paul Watson
Description
Welcome to the first episode of RER. This is an interview we did on July 26th with the President of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in France, Lamya Essemlali about the July 21st arrest in Nuuk Greenland of Captain Paul Watson, Founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, co-founder of Greenpeace, and star of Whale Wars (who recently has been living in France and this occurred during the Paris Olympics.)
There are just a few more days until the 9/5 decision by Denmark to potentially extradite Captain Paul Watson to Japan” where he could face a life sentence.
On August 15, a Greenland court ruled that this 73-year-old Canadian American citizen “must continue to be detained until September 5th, in order to ensure his presence in connection with a decision on the issue of extradition to Japan. Captain Watson has appealed the court's decision.
Just prior to that court decision, we spoke with Lamya Essemlali. At that time, she was in Greenland visiting Captain Watson in jail. Our conversation with her is enlightening as to his condition and the circumstances surrounding this issue.
We include a statement issued by Jane Goodall Institute & Dr. Jane Goodall, a conservationist, humanitarian, & crusader for the ethical treatment of animals.
