Make Fujitsu Compensate the Sub-Postmasters
Hundreds of sub-postmasters have been falsely and unjustly accused of stealing from the Post Office, prosecuted for doing so, and made to pay literally and figuratively at a price that has been quite incalculable and ongoing. It is also one for which they have never been adequately compensated, either by the organisation that employed them, or by the company - Fujitsu - that made and operated the system whose malfunctioning was the cause of the deficits in the first place.
Why is this important?
It is vitally important that the recompense they are owed is obtained for the sub-postmasters who have been unjustifiably made to undergo this ordeal through no fault of their own. They have suffered injustice firstly at the hands of The Post Office, and then at the hands of the legal system by being found guilty of fraud and/or theft, and finally by not having been adequately compensated for any of that. Nor does that take any account of the unspeakable financial and personal effect any of that has had upon their lives, much if not all of which is ongoing. Money clearly will not and cannot compensate for all that they have lost, but they must be given what they are owed.
