British Army veterans from Nepal and India, known as Gurkhas, have vowed to go on hunger strike until the UK government gives them equal pension rights to the their British-born comrades. Around 60 Gurkhas started an indefinite starvation protest on Thursday, swearing to keep their fast until death unless there is a change in their conditions.
Gurkhas who retired before 1997 receive around a third of the pension that goes to equivalent ranks of British regulars. More than 25,000 troops could be affected by any changes to pension arrangements. The UK government also does not currently pay pensions to veterans spouses or widows.
Veterans have been keeping a rotating vigil opposite the Prime Ministers residence at Downing Street for 13 nights. They say that no government representatives have met with them, and that their requests for a meeting with the Ministry of Defence have gone unanswered.
