Bristol protester, 78, on home detention after tag issue fixed

Ms Delap’s brother, Mick Delap, said: “Gaie is overjoyed to be back at home. She is enormously grateful for the support she has received.

“Gaie is also keen that we shouldn’t forget the large numbers of prisoners, especially women, serving equally unjust terms of recall and whose suffering her case has highlighted.

“She is one of many peaceful climate protesters who have been jailed as a result of their actions – and more being added to the list every day.”

Mike Campbell, close friend and former senior probation officer, who has helped coordinate the campaign for Ms Delap’s release, said: “While we celebrate Gaie’s return home, this should never have happened in the first place.

“This is not the end of our campaign.

“While we await the judgment of the Court of Appeal, we will seek annulment of the 20 ‘unlawfully at large’ days.

“We will also consider a complaint to the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman.”

Ms Delap’s Home Detention Curfew is due to end on 7 April.
