Thank you for setting up this Yahoo Group for the Gurkhas.

I am the solicitor who recently assisted, with the help of the Army
Rumour Service Forums, Tul Bahadur Pun VC, the Gurkha who won the
Victoria Cross but was banned from Britian for not having "close ties
to the UK". We won Mr Pun VC's case by public pressure.

I now need people to email their MP and email the press, to raise
awareness and concern about the treatment of Gyanendra Rai, a Gurkha
wounded during an Argentine artillery attack at Bluff Cove, in the
Falklands. Despite nearly dying on the battlefield in June 1982, Mr
Rai has also been told by the British Government that he too does not
have "close ties" to the UK and cannot live in Britain.

You can support our campaign for justice the Gurkhas and Lance
Corporal Rai, by signing the petition and sending an email for the
Immigration Judge considering the Gurkha appeals, by going to:

Thank you.
