Interpol has removed the red notice for Paul Watson, a prominent anti-whaling activist, who expressed relief by saying, "Finally I am free." His lawyer stated that the notice was deemed disproportionate. Watson had been wanted by Japan since 2010 due to his disruptive actions against whaling ships. He remarked on the relentless pursuit by Japan for 14 years, highlighting the country’s considerable resources used against him. The decision by Interpol's Commission for the Control of Interpol's Files was based on new facts, including Denmark's refusal to extradite him.
Paul Watson expressed relief upon learning that Interpol had removed its most-wanted designation against him, stating, "Finally I am free. The Japanese whalers have been after me for 14 years..."
This development comes after Interpol deemed the red notice against Watson disproportionate, as confirmed by his lawyer William Julie.
