Joyce was prosecuted for treason by the United Kingdom, despite the fact that he was not a British citizen. The grounds given for British jurisdiction were that Joyce had nevertheless possessed a British passport and had falsely claimed British citizenship. His wife, Margaret, had broadcast alongside her husband, but was not prosecuted because officials "felt that she had suffered enough", according to secret files that were released in 2000. <ref>http://archives.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/europe/UK/11/09/london.hawhaw/</ref> William Joyce was found guilty of these charges, and was [[hanging | hanged]] in January, 1946.
