"Seeking Justice: Addressing Decades of Post Office Scandal Suffering"
TL;DR
Former postmaster Parmod Kalia, wrongfully accused of theft by the Post Office due to faulty software, describes the suffering he endured for over 20 years, including a prison sentence, family rift, anxiety, depression, and attempted suicide. Despite having his conviction overturned, he has not received compensation, and along with many others, is still fighting for justice. A public inquiry is ongoing, and ministers are set to discuss how to help the hundreds wrongly convicted in the scandal, with a petition to remove the CBE of the former head of the Post Office receiving over a million signatures.
