UK Government Promises Action On Post Office Scandal
Government ministers in the UK are meeting to discuss what's been called the 'most widespread miscarriage of justice' in British history.
More than 700 Post Office branch managers were wrongly convicted of financial crimes due to faulty accounting software. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says the government, which wholly owns the Post Office, is reviewing the options to help victims of the scandal.
Those convicted, some of whom were jailed, were found guilty of charges including fraud, theft and false accounting due to problems with a nationally implemented piece of software first introduced in 1999.
A TV drama that aired last week has brought the subject back into the spotlight.
Many of those involved are still fighting to clear their names and have not received full compensation. Conservative peer Lord Arbuthnot wants justice for victims.
