INTOLERABLE ABUSE

SCOTTISH Horizon victims fighting for justice are facing an "intolerable" lack of information on pardoning schemes, a court was told yesterday.

Robert Thomson, Ravinder Naga and Aleid Kloosterhuis went to the Appeal Court yesterday in a bid to quash their convictions after being prosecuted for allegedly defrauding the Post Office.

Some allegations date back nearly 20 years.

Two other subpostmasters, Colin Smith and Judith Smith, had their convictions "administratively' quashed on Monday.

About 100 subpostmasters in Scotland were convicted after being wrongly accused of embezzling money in the Horizon scandal and First Minister Humza Yousaf has vowed to get "justice for them.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak this week announced legislation will be introduced to exonerate subpostmasters convicted in England and Wales.
