Luxembourger Kevin Schiltz was one of five people arrested on July 23 in the Faroe Islands while attempting to stop and document the cull of pilot whales known as the Grind.
Last Friday an court ordered the Luxembourger to pay a 5,000 kroner fine or face an eight-day prison sentence. Sea Shepherd has launched an appeal against the sentences and verdicts.
