Daniel Khalife, a 23-year-old former British soldier, has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for spying for Iran. He was convicted of violating the Official Secrets Act and Terrorism Act after providing classified information to Iranian intelligence. Khalife gained notoriety for escaping from Wandsworth Prison by hiding in a food delivery truck. He was on the run for three days before being arrested while riding a bicycle in London. His escape has raised concerns about security in the UK prison system. During his trial, Khalife claimed he intended to be a double agent for the UK, but jurors rejected his testimony.
