“We were arrested in Iceland after peacefully protesting the slaughter of endangered fin whales. We climbed into the crow’s nests of two commercial whaling vessels, delaying the hunt for over 33 hours and shining a global spotlight on a practice the world cannot ignore,” the women said on their GoFundMe page to cover their legal costs.

Reality:
In 1986 the International Whaling Commission put a moratorium on commercial whaling. #Japan didn't like that and continued hunting whales "for science". In 2019 it resumed commercial hunting of whales

Arrested #antiwhaling activist #PaulWatson could face up to 15 years’ prison in Japan if extradited and convicted.
