A decorated Gurkha who fought in the Falklands War has been banned from entering Britain to get treatment for injuries sustained in the conflict.
Gurkha Lance Corporal Gyanendra Rai served in the armed forces for 14 years and sustained horrific injuries after being shelled at Bluff Cove in the war with Argentina 25 years ago.
The ex-machine gunner's back was torn open and even after three operations he is still in constant pain.
LCpl Rai, 51, recently tried to come to Britain to get NHS treatment for his injuries as he cannot afford the necessary medication in his home country of Nepal.
But Government officials rejected the father-of-five's application fearing he would stay here and claiming he had insufficient links to justify a visa. "
