April 4, 2008
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's ship, the Farley Mowat, was attacked by a mob of 30-40 angry fishermen. The attack took place while berthed in the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. The Farley Mowat was berthed in St. Pierre to transfer video footage of the Canadian seal slaughter onto shore and await the resumption of the slaughter, which was temporarily suspended after the death of four sealers.
Tensions quickly escalated in St. Pierre as the growing mob hurled rocks, threats, and insults at crew members of the Farley Mowat. Cameraman Simeon Houtman was assaulted by an axe-wielding fisherman after stepping onshore to film the incident. "The fisherman raised the axe above his head with one arm and tried to knock Simeon back with his other. Simeon jumped back onto the ship just before the mob threw our gangplank into the water," said Peter Hammarstedt, First Officer of the Farley Mowat.
Captain Alex Cornelissen requested assistance from the French police--at least half a dozen of whom were present at the scene--but they did nothing to defend the ship or crew against the mob. Instead, the police suggested that Sea Shepherd should leave St. Pierre immediately.
Captain Cornelissen explained to the police that it would take some time to warm the engines in order to leave port safely and avoid serious engine damage. He requested protection during that time, but the police did nothing other than stand by and watch as fishermen hacked at the mooring lines of the Farley Mowat with an axe and ripped the gangplank from the ship, setting it dangerously adrift into the harbor.
After the mob severed head and bow-spring lines from the bollards, Sea Shepherd crew members scurried to pull in lines and prevent them from drifting back towards the screw or into the bowthruster. "The mob responded with a rain of stones and rocks that were thrown with the intent to injure," said Hammarstedt.
Without engine power, the Farley Mowat drifted uncontrollably in serious danger of crashing into nearby rocks and/or ships in the harbor. Captain Cornelissen had no choice but to start the engines cold--risking irreparable damage--in order to avoid a potentially lethal collision.
Although the Farley Mowat was able to escape the hostile crowd at St. Pierre, the extent of engine damage sustained remains undetermined. Fortunately, all crew members were on board during the attack, and no-one was injured.

Interpol, the International Criminal Police Organization, has put 3 anti-whaling activists on an international wanted list on suspicion of interfering with Japan's research whaling last year.
Tokyo police says that the 3 activists --- 2 Americans and one Briton --- are members of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society based in the United States.
In February 2007, activists on a Sea Shepherd ship threw smoke candles and bottles containing chemicals at a Japanese research-whaling vessel in the Antarctic Ocean, injuring 2 Japanese crew members.
Tokyo police say that the 3 suspects most likely carried out the acts as well as trying to disable the Japanese ship's propellers with a rope, and that they obtained their arrest warrants in July.
The whereabouts of the 3 suspects are still unknown.
Japanese police will request the extradition of the 3 suspects once overseas investigative authorities find them.

U.S. willing to cooperate with Interpol over antiwhaling activists+
Sep 17 09:36 PM US/Eastern
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 (AP) - (Kyodo)—The United States is willing to collaborate with Interpol in finding three environmental activists who allegedly interfered with Japan's whaling activities in the Antarctic Ocean in February last year, the State Department said Wednesday.
"The safety of vessels and human life at sea are the highest priorities for the United States and the nations that respect the rule of law on the high seas," the department said in a statement.
Any request coming through Interpol regarding the three -- two Americans and one Briton -- from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society who were put on an international wanted list "would be handled through normal bilateral law enforcement channels," it said.
Tokyo police said Wednesday Interpol has put the three on its wanted list on Sept. 2 on suspicion of interfering with Japan's whaling activities in the Antarctic Ocean in February last year.
They said Interpol on Sept. 2 issued a "blue notice" designed to collect information about the suspects' identities and activities, instead of a "red notice" to seek their arrest and extradition.
Tokyo police obtained arrest warrants last month for the three.
The police allege the three activists were involved in such activities as sandwiching and hitting the Kaiko Maru, a ship belonging to Japan's whaling fleet, with two Sea Shepherd ships, as well as throwing smoke candles onto the Kaiko Maru.
In addition to the three, the police are also continuing their investigations on several other people who are believed to be involved in interfering with Japan's whaling activities, they said.

Question Taken at the September 17, 2008 Daily Press Briefing
Japan: Sea Shepherd Whaling Activists (Taken Question)
Question: What is our reaction to the Japanese governments decision to send to INTERPOL the names of two American citizens and one British citizen who are accused of disrupting a whaling expedition in the Antarctic Ocean last year? Has INTERPOL released a notice concerning the three individuals?
Answer: We are aware of reports in the Japanese press that Japanese authorities may be seeking the arrest or additional information through INTERPOL channels concerning three environmental activists, two American citizens and one British citizen, in conjunction with alleged disruptive action against a Japanese whaling vessel in February 2007.
Any such request coming through INTERPOL would be handled through normal bilateral law enforcement channels.
As we have said in the past, the safety of vessels and human life at sea are the highest priorities for the United States and the nations that respect the rule of law on the high seas.
