I have been closely following the Horizon scandal for over two decades, witnessing how politicians and leaders evade accountability. The scandal, which involved the wrongful prosecution of postmasters due to flaws in the Horizon IT system, has deeply affected many lives. Sir Keir Starmer, who was Director of Public Prosecutions at the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) during part of this period, has yet to fully explain his role.

The impact of this scandal is far-reaching. Over 700 postmasters were wrongfully prosecuted based on faulty evidence from an unreliable IT system (source: House of Commons Library). These prosecutions led to financial ruin, imprisonment and even suicide for some innocent individuals.

It is crucial that we understand Sir Keir Starmer's involvement in these prosecutions. As a key figure within CPS at that time, his actions or lack thereof may have contributed significantly to this miscarriage of justice.

We demand transparency and accountability from our leaders. We urge parliament to require Sir Keir Starmer to publicly explain his role in prosecuting postmasters as part of the Horizon scandal. Please sign this petition if you believe in justice and want answers for those affected by this devastating event.
