The wife of detained Australian citizen and former US Marines fighter pilot Daniel Duggan has described his ongoing incarceration – now at 115 days - as “inhumane” and an “affront to Australia’s rule of law”.

Saffrine Duggan will petition the United Nations human rights committee to intervene in her husband’s detention. He is confined to a 2x4m cell in Sydney’s Silverwater prison and classified as an “extreme high-risk restricted inmate” without justification, she says.
