Just Stop Oil activist faces jail recall as wrists too small for electronic tag
Just Stop Oil activist faces jail recall as wrists too small for electronic tag
Gaie Delap was sent to prison in August for her part in disruptive protests on M25 in November
jfc... she's 77. Does the petrochemical industrial complex require so much protection from this tiny elderly woman that they need her to go back to jail? Because she's not a threat to anything else.
The terms of Delap’s curfew prevent her speaking directly to the media so her brother, Mick, is speaking on her behalf. “This is very cruel,” he said. “Gaie is sitting at home terrified with her suitcase packed waiting for a knock on the door from police. She has been unable to eat or sleep because of this.
“She is hoping against hope that sense can prevail and that she won’t have to go back to jail.”
And in turn prisons are over filled because we've taken a very american stance of conviction over all else, no evidence of innocence shall get in the way of a conviction.
why is she in jail when prince andrew literally sexually assaulted a teenager and walks free?
Do you think their crimes are somehow related and one should take account of the other? 😂
There is a sense in which they are related though, and that's that they're both things that fall under the justice system. I understood the person you're replying to as making a general point about their lack of faith in the justice system by juxtaposing a case with disproportionate punishment with a morally awful but unpunished case. The two examples aren't directly related, but that's why the contrast works — it's two facets of a fucked up justice system.
Really dangerous old lady. Really need to know where she is at all times.
If it doesn't fit, you must acquit!
