(FILES) - Picture taken on May 23, 2012 shows Paul Watson, Canadian founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, attending a demonstration in Berlin, where the Costa Rican President was expected for a visit. Watson is on bail while German authorities decide whether he can be extradited to Costa Rica on charges stemming from a high-seas confrontation over shark finning in 2002. Watson is accused of "putting a ship's crew in danger". The Canadian national is well known for his pursuit and harassment of Japanese whaling boats off Antarctica which in recent years has significantly reduced the number of animals slaughtered. The courts in Frankfurt decided on July 25, 2012 that he can be extradited.     AFP PHOTO / ODD ANDERSEN
