Seema Misra, the wrongly convicted subpostmistress who was sent to prison while pregnant has said "The apologies don't make any difference. I don't know if I'll ever accept their apologies." | |
Speaking to the BBC at the Post Office Inquiry today Misra said "I can't get the time back". | |
Misra was watching on as Jon Longman, the Post Office investigator whose report helped falsely convict her for theft and false accounting, was quizzed this morning at the Inquiry. | |
She said: "I want proper compensation for each and every victim and accountability". | |
When asked who she thought was to blame for the scandal she said she blamed the Labour government of 1999 for imposing the Horizon system on the Post Office. | |
She went on to say that each and every person who's responsible for the scandal - either in the authorities, the Post Office, Royal Mail and Fujitsu, needed to be put behind bars. | |
Misra explained how she didn't tell her parents, who were living in India, what she was going through, through fear she'd lose them if she admitted she'd been to prison. | |
"I lost both of them before my conviction was overturned." | |
