In this episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast, we catch up with Captain Locky MacLean.  Locky gives us an update on Paul's quest for freedom.  Unfortunately at the last hearing on August 15th, the judge in Greenland chose to keep Paul in detention longer while the Danish Minister of Justice considers Japan's extradition request.  Locky makes the point that while Paul sits in a prison in Nuuk, Greenland, the Japanese whalers are out in the Pacific ocean killing fin whales and searching for new waters to kill more.  We need to get Paul freed so that he and his crew can stop Japan from killing more whales.  Support the showhttps://www.paulwatsonfoundation.org/https://shop.paulwatson.com/
