American prosecutors claim the former US Marine pilot helped train Chinese military pilots in South Africa more than a decade ago, in breach of US arms trafficking laws. Duggan denies that, and says  he believed he was involved in lawful civilian flight training. He’s now facing extradition to the United States. But before the arrest, the charges, and before the extradition fight, Duggan was living as an Australian citizen, running a flight business in Tasmania, and building a life with his wife Saffrine and their children. Today, Dan Duggan’s wife, Saffrine Duggan on her husband’s fight for freedom from jail, and journalist and member of the  Free Dan Duggan Campaign, Michael Sainsbury, on how an Australian pilot became the target of US prosecution.
