The Canadian-American citizen is a former head of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
Anti-whaling activist Paul Watson has been freed from prison in Denmark and will not be extradited to Japan, his lawyer said.

Mr Watson, a Canadian-American citizen, is a former head of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, whose high seas confrontations with whaling vessels have drawn support from celebrities and featured in the reality television series Whale Wars.
