Report lays bare suffering from UK Post Office scandal

The mental, physical and financial toll of one of Britain's worst miscarriages of justice has been revealed in a report on the years-long UK Post Office IT scandal.

The inquiry has found at least 13 people may have taken their own lives as a result of the scandal.
