The Japanese harpoon vessel Yushin Maru No. 2 has taken two Sea Shepherd volunteer crew members hostage. Benjamin Potts 28, an Australian citizen and Giles Lane, 35, a citizen of Great Britain are being held hostage onboard the whaling vessel. Both men were assaulted and then tied to the railings of the whaler. They were then moved and tied to the radar mast by the whalers.

Video is from:

From Japnese Associated Press :
"Any accusations that we have tied them up or assaulted them are completely untrue," said institute chief Minoru Morimoto in japan

  • Pathetic

    I hope the people watching this video can see through the real truth on what's going on. The Japanese held NO ONE HOSTAGE. This self center psychotic Captain puts his own crews life in danger while ILLEGALLY boarding this Japanese Vessel. If I were the Captain of that Ship I would have thrown those two potential terrorist over board. The Japanese had no idea if those radical assholes were carring a weopon or worse a bomb. There are proper ways to handle situations. And when a self centered evil egotistic Captain goes to such extremes as to risk his truly dedicated crews life to satisfy his own mental issues this is no longer a cause. Its a one man crusade that does nothing more then have people lose interest in helping the true cause and save the ecology. Did anyone happen to see when this captain sent a scout boat out in the dark with the possibility of losing them. And without their helicopter to even look for them if they were to get lost in what was an extreme situation. Just because he had to inflict his terror at that very moment. Instead of keeping the crew safe and maybe losing a day or two of assaulting the innocent crew of Japanese working men. No matter how many Japanese get injured on deck the owner of the fleet is still sitting in his home safe and sound. All you are hurting is some fisherman who has a family needing him to come home safe and put food in his kids mouths. Stop the evil driven madness and see what you are doing before you call the Japanese immoral. It's nuts like you who spike trees with steel spikes to kill the working man in a saw mill because YOU don't like seeing old growth trees cut down. Well neither do I but I'm not going to mame a human being to satisfy my disgust with a governmental policy or a billion dollar corperations CEO. This Captain is WORSE then the people he claims to go after.

  • What absolute ...

    What absolute bullocks, Australia has had a research station down their for years doing real scientific research. Get it through your head this is about Japan whaling in the antarctic sanctuary. What valid research has Japan done in Antarctica apart from illegal fishing? We do lay claim validated by our research and under the terms of commercial exclusion.

  • Kill more whales, ...

    Kill more whales,Japan.Whatever white pigs say,I don't care.That's their nonsenses.
    How many cows,pigs,sheep etc you Australians kill every year?
    Do you know cows produces carbon dioxides which are polluting the environment so much?
    If you care for environment,then stop breeding cows and export.
    That will be far better than to criticize whaling,and think of your land is polluted.
    And your land's droughts.
    Tahnk you.
