FIVE MORE SEA SHEPHERD VOLUNTEERS FOUND GUILTY OF COMPASSION

FIVE MORE SEA SHEPHERD VOLUNTEERS FOUND GUILTY OF COMPASSION

 

All five defendants appeared in the Danish Court today and pleaded not guilty as they do not recognize the Faroese

Pilot Whaling act as a legitimate law. And because of the Bern

Convention. All defendants declined to testify.

The Danish prosecutor requested hefty fines. No jail time was requested.

Frances Holtman: 60 000 krónur

Rudy de Kieviet: 30 000 krónur

Lawrie Thomson: 25 000 krónur

Alice Rusconi Bodin: 25 000 krónur

Tobias Boehm: 25 000 krónur

The Prosecutor wants the confiscation of all camera equipment.

The camera is the most powerful weapon ever invented and this campaign is illustrating just that. The guns of the Danish frigate are powerless against the cameras of Sea Shepherd.

The Prosecutor is not asking for jail time and Sea Shepherd volunteers have no intention of paying the fines so we suspect that next Wednesday a deportation will be ordered.

There will be more volunteers, more arrests, more fines that won't be paid and more deportations but the pressure will continue.
