Anti-whaling activist arrested in Japan

Japan's whaling vessel Shonan Maru 2 (front), carrying anti-whaling New Zealander activist Pete Bethune of the hardline Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, is escorted by a Japanese coastguard vessel as it approaches a pier at Tokyo bay March 12, 2010. Japan's coastguard on Friday arrested the anti-whaling activist who boarded the whaling vessel in the Antarctic following clashes between hunters and environmentalists, a spokesman said.[Agencies]
