A Greenland court on Wednesday extended the detention of Canadian-American environmental activist Paul Watson for three more weeks, pending a decision on his extradition to Japan, where he is wanted over a clash with whalers.
For the third time since the 73-year-old campaigner's arrest in late July in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, prosecutors had asked that his detention be extended, as the legal review of Japan's extradition request drags on.
