Whilst working as a translator at GCHQ, Katharine Gun leaked a top-secret NSA memo in 2003. The document revealed a US-led effort to spy on UN diplomats to secure support for the Iraq War. Her prosecution under the Official Secrets Act was dropped, and the case
became a defining moment in debates over the legality of the war.
