Japan deports dolphin activist after airport detention
The star of an Oscar-winning documentary that shows how dolphins are hunted and slaughtered in Japan was deported to the US after Tokyo airport officials detained him for more than two weeks.
American Ric O'Barry said on Friday he was determined to come back and keep fighting to save the dolphins by working with Japanese people.
"The work will continue," he told the Associated Press new agency from aboard his plane. "Taking me out of the picture won't stop it."
