The lawyer for former U.S. Marine Corps pilot Daniel Duggan said he was "singled out" for extradition to the United States to face charges of training Chinese military fliers, even though other Australians provided military services to foreign states.
Australia's attorney-general last month accepted an extradition request from Washington for Duggan, who was arrested in rural Australia in October. He remains in custody in Sydney, and his next court date is on Feb. 13.
Duggan is accused of training Chinese pilots to land on aircraft carriers, and faces charges of money laundering and breaking U.S. arms control laws in the United States, according to a 2017 indictment unsealed in December.
