Court Orders Ben Griffin Not To Talk

Jump to Comments

Ben Griffin the former SAS soldier that alleged that the British military handed over captured Iraqis and Afghans to U.S. troops knowing they would be tortured was served with a gag order on Thursday.

If Griffin continues to disclose about people seized by the British special forces were mistreated he could spend time in jail. The 29 year old left the British army in 2005 because of his disagreement of the “illegal” tactics of the United States troops.

Earlier this week Griffin a speaker at a press conference was hosted by the Stop the War Coalition. During his speech he told the media that the British and United States worked together on a joint special forces taskforce. Some of the individuals that were detained ended up in interrogation centres and at Guantanamo Bay.

“I have no doubt in my mind that non-combatants I personally detained were handed over to the Americans and subsequently tortured.”

The Ministry of Defence will not comment on special forces activity.
