Interpol takes anti-whaling campaigner Paul Watson off its most-wanted list

PARIS (AP) — Interpol on Tuesday confirmed that it has removed anti-whaling campaigner Paul Watson from its most-wanted list.

Watson, 74, is a former head of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, whose high seas confrontations with whaling vessels have drawn support from celebrities and featured in the reality television series “Whale Wars.”

Japan has sought his extradition over an encounter with a Japanese whaling research ship in 2010.
