Post Office scandal victim dedicates OBE to ‘sub-postmasters we have lost’

A 92-year-old victim of the significant Post Office Horizon scandal has announced the dedication of her Order of the British Empire (OBE). The honour was received by the long-standing campaigner who has been instrumental in bringing the widespread miscarriage of justice to public attention. She stated that the accolade is specifically dedicated to “all sub-postmasters we have lost,” a poignant reference to those who tragically died before seeing justice or being exonerated in the long-running saga. This powerful gesture underscores the profound human cost and lasting impact of the faulty accounting software, which led to hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters being wrongly prosecuted for theft, fraud, and false accounting. Her dedication serves as a solemn tribute to the individuals who endured immense suffering, including financial ruin, imprisonment, and the destruction of their reputations, with many passing away without their names being cleared. The message highlights the ongoing fight for full accountability and compensation for all those affected by the scandal.
