Friends of Sea Shepherd's Pete Bethune are worried what will happen to him in Japan.

The anti-whaling activist is facing trespass charges , after boarding a Japanese whaling ship a month ago.

Sea Shepherd's New Zealand coordinator Bill Watson says lawyers are saying little about what is happening in Tokyo.

Watson says the Japanese are only allowing Bethune to talk to his lawyers and New Zealand diplomats.
