Stop extradition of Captain Paul Watson!

Captain Paul Watson really needs your help. There is a very good chance that he would be extradited into politically motivated corruption by Costa Rica and Japan upon entering the United States.

Sign and share this petition to the White House to “Provide Safe Haven to Captain Paul Watson, Founder of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society”. You do not have to be a US citizen or resident to sign.

It can be found @ http://wh.gov/VnRf. The full text of the petition language is as follows:

“We request the U.S. not extradite U.S citizen Paul F. Watson.

“There are two active Interpol Red Notices issued against Captain Watson at the request of Costa Rica and Japan. Underlying these notices are non-lethal acts in defense of marine life suffering from illegal shark fishing and whaling operations. The warrants are politically motivated.

“Captain Watson is a world-renowned and highly respected leader in environmental issues. In 1999, he was awarded President George H.W. Bush’s “Daily Points of Light” Award and in 2000, he was named one of Time Magazine’s “Top 20 Environmental Heroes of the 20th Century.” In 2012, he became only the second person ever to be honored with the Jules Verne Award for environmentalists and adventurers. Captain Watson is a national treasure.”

We have until February 28th to garner 100,000 signatures from individuals 13 years and older, no matter where they live in the world, who support these motions in order for the White House to consider taking action on the petitions.
