Paul Watson Update

As expected, the Norwegian government filed the extradition paperwork in the allotted time frame of 20 days. As the Norwegian newspapers predicted, additional charges were filed against Paul Watson to insure that a quick release was not possible.

The additional charges filed by the Norwegian government are:

The hearing will take place at the Haarlem Court on 26 May 1996 at 15:30 hrs.

The public is welcome to attend.

Situation Update:

Paul is still being held in Lelystad Penitentiary confined to his cell for 22 hours a day. Despite this, his spirits remain relatively high as he views this as a critical time to focus attention on Norway's continued illegal whaling activities.

Pressure must be kept on the Dutch authorities to release Paul. Paul will never get a fair trial in Norway and we fear for his safety!
