          No but probably not the reason for the outcome of the referendum as a majority of Icelanders is against whaling

        yes but the country is not only unable to stop him but its authorities are actively helping.

        This is an update from the Captain Paul Watson Foundation whose detained ship I saw in Reykjavik when I was there three weeks ago.

        BANDERO UPDATE!

        Five crew members have now been deported from Iceland following weeks of detention and immigration proceedings. They’ve been released thanks to your pressure and email so THANK YOU!

        One crew member, the Bandero’s chief engineer, remains detained.The vessel itself also remains seized and under the control of Icelandic authorities.

        On August 17, the Bandero was towed from Reykjavík to Akranes, where she remains today.For weeks, members of the crew faced uncertainty, detention and limited access to communication. In some cases, crew members waited approximately 48 hours before they were able to contact their families and confirm they were safe. Several have now returned home without their phones and other personal belongings, which remain in the possession of Icelandic authorities as part of the ongoing investigation.

        The Captain Paul Watson Foundation continues to work with legal counsel regarding the seizure of the Bandero, the treatment and detention of the crew, and the ongoing investigation.Our immediate priority is clear: we want our ship back.“Operation 86 was stopped before our work was finished. This is not the end of Operation 86.”— Jonny Velasquez

        The majority of the crew may now be home, but the Bandero remains seized, one crew member remains detained, and our mission remains unfinished.We will continue. Please send the new follow up email just created to keep the pressure and also support our work with a donation if you can to finance the legal operations!
