L'activista del grup de protesta és acusat de violació de la propietat privada, per haver abordat un balener japonès al mar del Sud al febrer mentre intentava fer un arrestament civil del capità per haver enfonsat el vaixell de Sea Sheperd un mes abans (tal com havia informat anteriorment a Global Voices Kevin Rennie).
The protest group activist is charged with trespassing, for boarding a Japanese whaling ship in the Southern ocean during February while attempting to make a citizen’s arrest of its captain for the sinking of the Sea Shepherd’s ship one month earlier (as previously reported for Global Voices by Kevin Rennie).
