From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Valentin Danilov (born 1951) - Russian physicist. On November 2004, he was found guilty and sentenced to 14 years for espionage. Many scientists and human rights organizations, both in Russia and worldwide claimed this sentence is ridiculous, because the information he passed to China was, in fact, declassified in 1992.
