Interpol has lifted the red notice against Paul Watson, a 74-year-old anti-whaling activist and former head of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Watson faced charges from Japan, including attempts to obstruct whaling activities and property damage. His actions have led him to be labeled as a "pirate" in various media reports. The decision to remove the notice was based on new facts, including Denmark's refusal to extradite him, and does not reflect a judgment on the case's merits.
Interpol has officially and permanently dismissed the Red Notice against me. The charges against me are politically motivated.
Japan issued an arrest warrant against Watson in 2010, accusing him of attempting to obstruct a Japanese whaling ship in the Antarctic.
