Anti-whaling activist arrested in Japan

Protesters hold placards as they wait for the arrival of Japan's whaling vessel Shonan Maru 2, carrying anti-whaling New Zealander activist Pete Bethune of the hardline Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, at a pier at Tokyo bay in Tokyo 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]
