Danish authorities claim that the arrest was made due to an international arrest warrant issued by Japan, related to his anti-whaling campaigns in the Antarctic more than a decade ago. Paul faces extradition to Japan, where he could spend the rest of his life in prison. He currently remains in Anstalten prison in Greenland for his unwavering commitment to protecting our oceans.
