Daniel Khalife, a former British soldier, was sentenced to 14 years for spying for Iran and escaping from Wandsworth Prison. He was convicted of breaching the Official Secrets Act and the Terrorism Act, having provided sensitive military information to Iranian agents. Khalife's prison break attracted significant media attention and raised concerns about security in the UK penal system, now under inquiry. The judge condemned Khalife, emphasizing deterrent sentencing and the serious risks posed by his actions to national security. Two accomplices have been arrested in connection with his escape.
