Gaie Delap, a 77-year-old activist and retired teacher, has been jailed for 20 months after problems arose with her electronic tagging for monitoring while on home detention. Delap’s legal situation stems from her participation in a Just Stop Oil protest that blocked the M25. Supporters criticized the government’s handling of her case, claiming the lack of proper electronic monitoring solutions is wasteful and unjust. Bristol Central MP Carla Denyer has raised concerns about the punitive measures faced by Delap, particularly as they occurred over the Christmas period.
