The pair, from the radical Sea Shepherd group, boarded the vessel on Tuesday. The ICR then branded the activists as terrorists, while Sea Shepherd accused the ICR of illegal hunting. Earlier, Australian PM Kevin Rudd had urged both sides to exercise restraint.
"It became very clear yesterday that Sea Shepherd had no intention of retrieving their two intruders, who boarded the Yushin Maru with backpacks carrying a change of clothes, toiletries and other sundry items."The Australian government accepted Japan's request to assist and remove the men from our research vessel to allow us to continue our work."
