British judiciary causes excitement: grandmother back in prison!

A moving case causes a stir in the UK: the retired teacher Gaie Delap, who is committed to climate protection, was sent back to prison after considerable problems occurring when an electronic surveillance bracelet was attached. According to reports from Kleine Zeitung was not possible due to the narrow wrist of the 70-year-old. This resulted in it that it was taken off again because the British Ministry of Justice emphasized the strict compliance with the legal requirements for electronic surveillance.

controversy about the detention conditions

DELAPS Fall raises questions. Although she was released from the house arrest in November, the Ministry of Justice saw no other way out than to lock them up again. A ministry spokesman emphasized the need to implement legal requirements: "If electronic monitoring is not possible, the person must be taken back." This is met with violent criticism from friends and supporters who note that the costs for the detention, which amount to around £ 12,000 (just under 14,500 euros), are much higher than the purchase of a suitable surveillance device.

This situation shows the challenges and contradictions in the judicial system, especially in the context of monitoring prisoners. According to reports, more urgent efforts should have been made to find a suitable surveillance bracelet for Delap. The case not only rejected legal dimensions, but also public opinion on the treatment of environmental activists.
