A Greenland court will decide Wednesday whether to keep anti-whaling activist Paul Watson in custody 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 US-Canadian campaigner's arrest in late July in Nuuk, the capital of the Danish autonomous territory, "the prosecution has asked for an extension of the detention", the prosecutor in charge of the case, Mariam Khalil, told AFP in an email.
