A CLIMATE campaigner has been told she must spend an extra 20 days in prison after being jailed because a security firm did not have an electronic tracking tag small enough for her wrist.

Just Stop Oil protester Gaie Delap,78, was sentenced to 20 months in prison after taking part in a protest in 2022.

She was released on November 18 last year under Home Detention Curfew which involves wearing an electronic locator tag.
