Duggan's wife Saffrine Duggan has now started a campaign to persuade Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus to free the father of six.
"Daniel's treatment in segregation and classification as an 'extreme high risk' inmate is completely unjustified – he has never been charged or convicted of any crime in Australia, and is a model father, husband, friend and Australian citizen," she said. News agency Reuters previously reported that Duggan moved from Australia to China in 2014 to work as an aviation consultant.Defence Minister Richard Marles has launched a review into reports China is luring former Australian Defence Force members to train its military.
"Daniel has been caught in a geopolitical storm for working in China, doing work that has been done there for decades by western, African and European pilots for decades with the full knowledge of these governments," she said.
