Evidence suggests 77-year-old climate activist was recalled to prison over ‘fabricated reports’, family say

THE family of a 77-year-old climate activist who has been recalled to prison after officers failed to fit a suitable tag have accused the electronic monitoring service (EMS) of completely misrepresenting the incident.

Just Stop Oil (JSO) activist Gaie Delap was sentenced to 20 months after taking part in peaceful action on the M25 in 2022 demanding an end to all new oil and gas licences.

Ms Delap was released in November on a home detention curfew, requiring her to wear an electronic tag.
