Frah speak onstage during an event calling for the release of anti-whaling campaigner Paul Waston at Place de la Republique on September 4, 2024 in Paris, France. 76-year-old anti-whaling campaigner Paul Watson is being detained in prison in Nuuk, Greenland while his extradition to Tokyo to face charges of damaging a Japanese whaling ship and injuring a crew member in 2010, is decided.
