"UK Government Moves to Clear Names in Post Office Scandal"

TL;DR Summary
Britain plans to introduce new legislation to overturn the wrongful convictions of hundreds of Post Office managers who were wrongly accused of theft, fraud, and false accounting due to faulty software. The scandal, one of the biggest miscarriages of British justice, has led to public outrage and calls for swift action to deliver justice. While 93 convictions have been overturned, hundreds of others are yet to be quashed. The government's move to intervene in the judicial process is a significant step, and public anger has been reignited by a TV dramatization of the scandal. An ongoing public inquiry and a separate police investigation are also underway.
