GURKHA JUSTICE CAMPAIGN (http://gurkhajustice.org.uk/)
The Gurkhas are fighting for Justice. Britain has had no greater friends than the Gurkhas. They have served all across the world in the defence of our Country for nearly 200 years. Over 45,000 died in the two World Wars as part of the British Army. They are still fighting in the British Army today. You may have seen in the media that they are fighting in Parliament and the Courts. Step by step, things are getting better - but there is a long way to go (Joanna Lumley)
