Denmark refuses to extradite anti-whaling activist Paul Watson to Japan, citing old charges and long detention.

Denmark has decided not to extradite Paul Watson, the anti-whaling activist and founder of Sea Shepherd, to Japan. Watson was detained in Greenland since July, facing charges from Japan for actions taken in 2010, which included damaging a whaling ship and injuring a whaler. Denmark's Ministry of Justice made the decision based on the age of the crimes, detention duration, and the lengthy extradition process.
