US-Canadian founder of Sea Shepherd, who was arrested in Greenland in July, will now spend Christmas with his sons

Paul Watson, the anti-whaling campaigner, has spoken of delight that he will be reunited with his young children for Christmas after Denmark rejected Japan’s extradition request and released him from prison in Greenland.

After 150 days in jail on the Danish autonomous territory, Watson, 74, was told by his lawyer on Tuesday morning that the Danish authorities had decided he was free to leave the island.
