"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 obviously flawed one. Indeed, that proposition is also inconsistent with common sense."

Support this petition please, if you agree that,
'Alan Bates appointment would be appropriate in terms of recognition of his unwavering dedication and tireless campaign seeking justice for all sub-postmasters affected by the Post Office use of the Horizon computer system’. And, that Alan Bates' exemplary efforts [widely reported in the media] and his unwavering commitment to seek justice for sub-postmasters, make him eminently deserving of a life peerage.
It is our belief that such an honour will not only acknowledge his remarkable endeavours but also provide a platform for his continued contribution to the betterment of society.
In summary:
Alan Bates’s determination and advocacy have played a crucial role in exposing injustices caused by the Post Office Horizon IT scandal. His fight continues to resonate as a powerful example of seeking accountability and fairness in the face of adversity.
Please support and share this petition if you agree.
