Climate protesters would do well to dress in corduroy, wellies and flat caps going forward.

#GaieDelap had been released earlier to be placed on an electronic monitor, but none fit her; after 20 days she was returned to prison, her prison term extended for the 20 days w/o a monitor for being “unlawfully at large.” In the final days of January she was again released to home curfew.
#HumanRightsWatch: Britain’s crackdown on climate protest is setting “a dangerous precedent” around the world and undermining democratic rights. 78 year protester #GaieDelap was returned to prison because no electronic monitor would fit her.
At last.
‘On Friday afternoon Gaie Delap was released from Eastwood Park prison on home detention curfew. It is understood that a 15cm wrist strap previously deemed unsuitable for her was considered usable.

With apologies to the paraphrasing of Neil Kinnock…
You start with outdated views about protestors.
You develop right wing rhetoric of being tough and not being a party of protest.

This is an absolute disgrace an elderly Irish woman who was doing her best to warn people about climate change is locked up in a British prison. Come on #Ireland help get her released. #GaieDelap
#GaieDelap holds an Irish passport (great niece of the famous #MaudeDelap - marine biologist) so she's an EU citizen too and her rights should be defended by Ireland and EU @just-stopoil.bsky.social. This is inhumane and a shameful reflection on UK justice system. #climate
It's remarkable how much #GaieDelap goodlawproject.org/update/failu...
looks like her great aunt #MaudeDelap - who was also a remarkable and inspiring person www.ecomuseumlive.eu/finding-maud... / and who lived her life purposely and ethically #speirgorm #Spéirghorm #climate #science #ireland
#GaieDelap, #JustStopOil protester has been recalled to prison because Serco failed to source a tag that would fit her
The only person who can now reverse the decision is Secretary of State for Justice Shabana Mahmood MP
Spread the word amongst #UK friends/family to write to their MPs #SpeirGorm
This is absolutely outrageous! I can’t fathom who this is benefiting? #GaieDelap #ClimateCrisis www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Encouraging #Spéirghorm to spread the work about #GaieDelap - appalling treatment in UK justice system of a 78 year old climate protestor. She has an Irish passport and actually looks very like her famous great aunt Maud Delap - the marine biologist from Valentia Island

UK ‘justice’
“Her reincarceration represents a clear miscarriage of justice. She now faces double jeopardy, two punitive measures resulting solely from the unavailability of suitable electronic monitoring equipment. This is a cruel decision.”

How am I just learning about #gaiedelap
A climate change activist jailed for 20 months 🙄
Released on license in November
Has to stay in prison because the tags are too big (probs designed for men)
I meant what the actual...

On Friday (10th), ca 280 people gathered for a moving vigil for #GaieDelap, who wrongly spent her 78th birthday locked up, as the electronic tag was too small for her!
Many @climatechoirs.bsky.social members joined to sing outside. 🎶
Please listen & share. 🙏🌏

A stunningly beautiful, but poignant performance by @climatechoirs.bsky.social outside the prison, where #GaieDelap is being wrongfully held.
She tried to highlight the death of the planet. We need to listen! We need to wake up. We need to act. NOW!

‘The topsy-turvy world where a government contractor, Serco, can fail and fail again, while a citizen with a social purpose gets called back to prison days before Christmas to atone for that failure, isn’t even the most absurd thing about this story.’ #GaieDelap

Happy birthday #GaieDelap! Thinking of you and hoping this cruel non-sense will be over soon so you can be released. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Prospect article by Alan Rusbridger on the return to prison of Gaie Delap.
'Small wrist? Go to prison.'
#GaieDelap
www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/68...
IT: The UK Ministry of Justice said that if offenders could not be monitored electronically in the community, they would be returned to prison, even if the lack of monitoring was no fault of their own.
Ms Delap was arrested on December 21st and taken to Eastwood Park Prison.
#GaieDelap
A recent University of Bristol study concluded that the criminalisation and repression of climate and environmental protest represented “authoritarian moves that are not consistent with the ideals of vibrant civil societies in liberal democracies”.'
