Copenhagen: A Greenland court will decide Wednesday whether to further extend US-Canadian anti-whaling activist Paul Watson's time in custody pending a decision on his extradition to Japan, where he is wanted over an altercation with whalers.
"The public prosecutor has requested an extension of the custody period," the prosecutor in charge of the case, Mariam Khalil, told AFP in an email.
Wednesday's hearing will be Watson's fifth since his arrest in July in Nuuk, capital of the Danish autonomous territory.
The 73-year-old activist was detained on a 2012 Japanese arrest warrant, which accuses him of causing damage to a whaling ship in the Antarctic in 2010 and injuring a whaler.
Watson, who featured in the reality TV series "whale Wars", founded Sea Shepherd and the Captain Paul Watson Foundation (CPWF) and is known for radical tactics including confrontations with whaling ships at sea.
