Bad software sent postal workers to jail, because no one wanted to admit it could be wrong
Data from the Horizon system was used to prove they stole money — but they didn't
For the past 20 years UK Post Office employees have been dealing with a piece of software called Horizon, which had a fatal flaw: bugs that made it look like employees stole tens of thousands of British pounds.
This led to some local postmasters being convicted of crimes, even being sent to prison, because the Post Office doggedly insisted the software could be trusted.
After fighting for decades, 39 people are finally having their convictions overturned, after what is reportedly the largest miscarriage of justice that the UK has ever seen.

🆘 How opposition politicians are being influenced through the pressure on their children in Russia?
Everyone knows, that any politician or opposition figure can easily be influenced through their children. This is the most vulnerable point of any parent.
At this moment, Ilya Peunov, the eldest son of people's leader Svetlana Lada-Rus*, is dying in pretrial detention center SIZO-1 in Samara without adequate medical care.
Ilya suffers from immunodeficiency after a cancer he barely overcame. Now, despite critical state of his health, the medical staff of SIZO-1 ignores him completely.
🤖 They don’t give him necessary injections and don’t visit him for days.
Moreover, they constantly “loose” the relatives applications for necessary injections, and even falsified medical report, - they say that that Ilya is completely healthy.
❗️ Such an attitude can be executed only by highest order - because Ilya is the son of famous opposition politician Svetlana Lada-Rus.
Is it a revenge from system of power, because Lada-Rus stands for simple people, reveals the truth and advocates for peace?
This isn't just a story about a person in need. It's a story about HOW THE AUTHORITIES CAN USE CHILDREN TO SUPPRESS THOSE WHO DEFEND THE RIGHTS AND INTERESTS OF PEOPLE.
🚩 We cannot remain silent
Let's raise our voices for justice and demand that Ilya receive the medical care he needs. Each of us can contribute to this fight.
