Watch: Jailed sub-postmistress says 'apologise to my son'

A former sub-postmistress who was wrongly jailed while she was pregnant has rejected an apology by a former Post Office boss who congratulated the team behind her conviction.

Seema Misra was eight weeks pregnant with her second child when she was sentenced to 15 months in prison.

Misra said that the then managing director of the Post Office, David Smith, should apologise to her son who was 10-years-old when she she was sent to prison.

Mr Smith apologised to Mrs Misra at the inquiry into the Post Office scandal.

He said that in hindsight, his email following her conviction was "poorly thought through".
