Katharine Gun
Gun, a translator for British intelligence, learned of a US plan to spy on UN delegations with the goal of winning support for an invasion of Iraq. The plans were outlined in a classified NSA memo. The US was seeking British help with the plan.
Gun was fired from her job and arrested for violating the Official Secrets Act under British law. In 2004 the British goverment decided not to prosecute.
