Just Stop Oil protester, 78, released to home detention after fitting tag found Gaie Delap had prison term extended because contractors could not find wrist strap of right size.
Gaie Delap, 78, a retired teacher and Just Stop Oil protester, was sentenced to 20 months in prison for her participation in a climate protest on the M25 in 2022 and was released last November under the home detention curfew (HDC) scheme.
A 78-year-old climate protester has been released on home detention curfew just a week after her prison term was extended because government contractors were unable to find the right-sized tag for her wrist.
A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said on Friday: “Ms Delap has now been fitted with a tag and has been placed on home detention curfew.”.
Delap’s brother, Mick Delap, said: “Gaie is of course delighted to be back at home.
