GREENPEACE displayed a dead whale outside the Japanese Embassy in Berlin yesterday to highlight its claim that Japanese hunters have killed at least 123 whales in the icy seas off the coast of Antarctica since the start of the whaling season this year.

A dead whale was on display as Greenpeace members protested against whale-hunting in front of the Japanese embassy in Berlin.

Japan will continue its whale-hunting programme despite mounting international protest, a fisheries official said today.
