77-year-old activist would be spending Christmas out of prison if she were male, family says

THE family of a 77-year-old activist who has been recalled to prison made a plea to authorities today to find a suitable electronic tag to allow her to spend Christmas at home.

Gaie Delap was sentenced to 20 months in prison in August for taking part in a Just Stop Oil (JSO) protest on the M25.

She was released in November on home detention, but due to a health condition she was unable to have a tag fitted to her ankle, and authorities could not find one small enough to fit her wrists.
