Answer
No, unfortunately, despite efforts from his wife and the Soviet Union, no other country attempted to intervene and save Sorge following his capture by the Japanese authorities. This lack of intervention may have stemmed from various factors, including the complex geopolitical landscape of the time and the challenges associated with directly confronting Japan during World War II.
