British government seeks injunction against former SAS operator

Former Special Air Service (SAS) operator Christian Craighead has revealed that the British government is seeking an injunction against him in the United States. The legal dispute concerns his book, ‘One Man In’, which details his experiences with the elite unit, specifically his actions during a 2019 terrorist attack on a hotel in Nairobi, Kenya.

During an interview on the ‘Shawn Ryan Show’, Craighead stated that the legal battle has become extremely costly, noting he has spent over $130,000 on publishing and has sold his medals to cover legal fees. He claimed the injunction is an attempt to prevent him from telling a story that was already widely reported in newspapers and asserted that his account does not violate the Official Secrets Act.

Craighead expressed fear regarding returning to the United Kingdom, stating, ‘I can’t ever go back to the UK. I’ll be arrested.’
