The contribution of the Gurkhas to the British army is famous and an initiative aimed at helping these brave boys and girls settle in the UK when they hang up their rifles has been given a special gong.
At the Liberty and Justice Human Rights Awards, the Daily Mirror’s Gurkha Justice Campaign scooped the Human Rights Award for organisations and non-legal individuals.
The judges gave the initiative the thumbs up for what it achieved and praised those behind it, which include TV favourite Joanna Lumley, for the massive efforts that they’ve put in.
"[It was] a remarkable public campaign that led to retired British Army Gurkhas being accorded due respect and protection through the provision of settlement rights, education rights and healthcare in the UK," they added.
On May 21st, the then-Home Secretary Jacqui Smith announced that Gurkhas who had done more than four years in the army will have the right to settle in the UK if they want to.
