Britain denies Soblen asylum in life prison bid
London informed Dr. Robert Soblen that asylum was denied and he must return to the United States to begin a life sentence for wartime espionage for the Soviets.

Soblen, 61, had fled to Israel to avoid surrender, slashed himself to force hospitalization in Britain, and his case provoked debate in Israel’s Knesset over how it was handled.
