Israeli activists protest near the German embassy in the centre of Tel Aviv, calling for the release of Paul Watson, the founder and leader of the marine conservation group “Sea Shepherds” – known mainly for disrupting whale hunts, documented on the reality TV program “Whale Wars” – who has been detained in Germany at the request of Costa Rica, which wants him extradited on trumped up charges made by shark fin poachers and whale killers.
