"This miscarriage of justice involved wrongful prosecution of hundreds of sub-postmasters and mistresses for alleged theft and fraud, based on faulty information".
Quote from Judgment (No.6) “Horizon Issues”:
"The proposition that Horizon worked as it was supposed to is an

His fight continues to resonate as a powerful example of seeking accountability and fairness in the face of adversity.
Time to ensure that justice is delivered now for those who were wronged.
With this in mind, let's see Alan Bates made a life peer, to continue his work and ensure that justice is seen to be done!
Please support and share this petition if you agree.
THANK YOU!
