FREE PAUL WATSON TORONTO DEMONSTRATION at the GERMAN CONSULATE

As we all know now Paul Watson was arrested in Frankfurt, Germany Sunday May 12th on a Bogus Warrant submitted by Costa Rica. Paul will be released on a $230,000Euro Bail Monday May 21st making his incarceration 9 days for this Bogus Warrant that INTERPOL does not Support!

Supporters of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society from Ontario - Canada mobilized on a call from the organization to meet at all of the German Embassy's & Consulates Worldwide. There were over well over 60 cities in 6 Continents that rose to the occasion to yell "FREE PAUL WATSON!" On this day in Berlin, Germany the Costa Rican government arrived for a visit while being greeted with over 400 Sea Shepherd Conservation Society supporters.

Upon my arrival I was asked by the Consulate General of Toronto to come up and speak to her. Sabine Sparwasser came out of her secured floor and spoke to me about the issue. She told me that they have been receiving a lot of phone calls and emails that support Paul Watson, and that our presence outside will be documented and sent back to Berlin. So I left and proceeded to mobilize the presence out front to be heard to the 25th Floor of the German Consulate General of Toronto's floor!

Paul Watson is still on house arrest to Frankfurt, Germany but awaits release due to pressure from global support and the removal of a bogus warrant from Costa Rica that Germany reacted upon. Interpol did not support this warrant and publicly announced this on their website and sent it off to all 90 countries.

Below is the video I prepared from our Toronto Sea Shepherd Chapter for May 23rd in solidarity with our SKIPPER! Paul Watson! Keep the Pressure on the German Minister!
