"Show your support for Captain Watson by contacting Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, the Federal Minister of Justice in Berlin, Germany. Let her know that the warrant for Captain Watson's arrest is politically motivated and thus should be ignored by the German government. With international support we can set Captain Watson free, and keep him from the possibility of facing an unfair trial in Costa Rica."

Sample Letter:

    Dear Ms Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger,

    I was very concerned to hear that Germany has detained Sea Shepherd's Captain Paul    
    Watson for possible extradition to Costa Rica. I understand that the warrant for Captain 
    Watson's arrest is politically motivated and possibly due to an incident in which Sea 
    Shepherd uncovered an illegal shark finning operation.

    I support Sea Shepherd's efforts to monitor and publicise illegal fishing and whaling   

    around the world and recognize that some illegal fishing operations try to use 

    international law to shut down the Sea Shepherd operations. I urge you to consider the 

    valuable work Captain Watson and Sea Shepherd are undertaking globally to highlight 

    the dangers to our oceans in considering this extradition request.

    Sincerely,
    Your Name.
