Anti-whaling activist Paul Watson faces court decision on detention extension in Greenland.

Paul Watson, a US-Canadian anti-whaling activist, faces a Greenland court decision on Wednesday about extending his detention. Watson was arrested in July based on a 2012 Japanese warrant for damaging a whaling ship and injuring a whaler. His lawyers have appealed to Denmark’s supreme court, and if Denmark denies extradition, Watson could be released. His case has gained support from activists and figures like Jane Goodall.
