Christian Craighead

Rare card · No. 19928

Christian Craighead is the pseudonym of a former British Army soldier and member of the United Kingdom Special Forces. He became publicly known for his part in the response to the Nairobi DusitD2 complex attack in January 2019, during which he assisted Kenyan security forces and helped evacuate civilians. He was subsequently awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross (CGC). Craighead later sought permission from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to publish a memoir about the attack. In 2023, the High Court dismissed his challenge to the MoD's refusal, holding that the restriction on publication was a proportionate interference with his right to freedom of expression.
