Group of French Artists Support Paul Watson

Artists Support Paul Watson - A group of French artists, including Francis Lalanne and Florent Pagny, have recorded a song titled "Le dernier mot", the last word, to support Paul Watson, founder of the NGO Sea Shepherd, who faces extradition from Greenland to Japan. The song, released on the 23rd of October, aims to raise awareness and prevent Watson's extradition, where he could face 15 years in prison for disrupting Japanese whaling operations. Many prominent artists, like Cali and Véronique Sanson, have joined this initiative to defend Watson's cause.
