What Emma spoke about.

Mr President, this is the first time since 1976. Last week, a fin whale was captured, hunted, skinned and then frozen in small pieces before being displayed as a trophy on the stalls of a Tokyo market. A terrifying step backwards for a species of whale that IUCN deems vulnerable. The culprit? The Kangei Maru. Does that name remind you of anything? On July 21, Paul Watson was arrested in Greenland precisely because he and his crew were preparing to stop the route of this Japanese factory ship destined to commit the massacre that we now contemplate powerless. These are the consequences of the arrest of Paul Watson, wanted by Japan and executed by Denmark. Yes, Denmark played an active role in this ambush. According to his Minister of Justice, it was the Faroese police who alerted Greenland to the stopover of Paul Watson. The Faroe Islands and Denmark obviously can't stand Sea Shepherd opposing the dolphin killings that take place there every year. And here they are united by a blood bond with Japan to carry out an operation of political revenge and to silence forever a tireless defender of life. Let the Danish Government hear it well: Environmentalists around the world are watching you, and they will never forgive you for throwing one of their own to a country that does not respect human rights. We defend not only Paul Watson, but also, through him, all environmental activists threatened, repressed, criminalized in Europe and around the world. The sea uprisings have begun and they are not about to stop. Against the ravages of industrial fishing and cruel hunting practices, for marine biodiversity, for the ocean, free Paul Watson!
