An important appeal from Captain Paul Watson, Founder of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society

“I need your signature.

Hi everyone,

I can use your help with this petition to get the Costa Rican government to drop their bogus charges against me. They are trying to extradite me for stopping a shark finning operation in 2002 in Guatemalan waters. This was done at the request of the government of Guatemala. No one was hurt. Nothing was damaged. Sharks were saved. Costa Rica has a problem with that. The same courts that let the murderers of Jairo Mora Sandoval go free because the police and prosecutors conveniently lost the evidence now want to put me in prison for 15 years for saving sharks. We need to keep the pressure on Costa Rica to enable us to return to defend marine reserves, turtles, sharks, whales, dolphins and fish.”

Liberemos a Paul Watson de la persecución de las Mafias de la Pesca Ilegal

Los intereses de unos pocos que se enriquecen devastando la vida en los mares han convertido a Paul Watson, su principal defensor, en un fugitivo de la supuesta “justicia”. Y son nada menos que los tribunales del país que más alardea de “ambientalista”, los que lo persiguen desde hace doce años con una causa judicial inventada por aleteadotes ilegales de tiburones y apoyada por las mafias económicas que asesinan a mansalva y sin restricciones a la fauna marina. ¡Es hora de decirle “BASTA” a semejante injusticia! Firma nuestra petición y ayudanos a detener esta injusta persecución.
