Our core belief is that the conviction of any postmaster for offences such theft or fraud, during the period of Horizon’s operation, should be deemed unsafe and therefore included in the mass exoneration, in order to rectify all past injustices.

Without this, even more Postmasters that endured the burden of a criminal record may die without their names cleared and their innocence acknowledged.
