A Dutchman thought to be connected to the antiwhaling Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has been arrested in Taiji, Wakayama Prefecture, on suspicion of acting violently against a man involved in whaling.
Erwin Vermeulen, 42, allegedly pushed the man in the chest while trying to force his way onto a seaside road where entry is forbidden because of whale-hunting activities, according to police. (Japan Times)
