Just Stop Oil Activist Gaie Delap Jailed Over Ankle Tag Issue

Gaie Delap, a 77-year-old environmental activist, has been returned to prison due to issues with her electronic monitoring tag after participating in a Just Stop Oil protest that blocked the M25. Delap was sentenced to 20 months but was released on a curfew until problems fitting the tag arose. Supporters criticize the situation as unnecessary and costly, while MPs call for alternatives like daily check-ins. The Ministry of Justice stated that offenders unable to be electronically monitored must be recalled to prison, regardless of the circumstances.
