Former senator Bob Brown has urged Tasmanian-born Queen Mary of Denmark to intervene on behalf of high-profile anti-whaling campaigner Paul Watson after his arrest in Greenland.
The Sea Shepherd founder, who had previously been based in Hobart, was taken into custody by police when his ship, the John Paul DeJoria, docked in Danish-controlled Greenland's Nuuk harbour on July 21.
A local court ordered his detention and he will reappear on August 15 after a Japanese notice for his arrest was issued through Interpol.
