Former sub-postmasters and post-mistresses talk to BBC about Post Office scandal

Eight sub-postmasters and sub-mistresses and one relative have spoken to the BBC about the impact of the Post Office scandal on their lives.

They include Mohammed Rasul who, after working for the Post Office for 27 years, was suspended in 2005 and prosecuted for false accounting.

Another victim, Janet Skinner, said she was suspended from her Post Office after shortfall of £59,000 and spent three months in jail.

Between 1999 and 2015, the Post Office prosecuted 736 sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses - an average of one a week - based on information from a computer system called Horizon.
