At the weekend, Aussie father of six and his wife Saffrine quietly celebrated their love and wedding anniversary behind concrete and razor wire at Macquarie Maximum Security Correctional Facility. They vowed to continue to fight for justice and put an end the nightmare that has seen Dan locked up without Australian charges for more than 20 months at the behest of the US.

On ABC’s background briefing, Saffrine recounts when the couple first met and fell in love: “I turned around and my eyes met his eyes. My heart skipped a beat. We literally kick started the most beautiful love affair from that night.” https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/backgroundbriefing/notorious-04-from-top-gun-to-wanted-man/104036632

Today we condemn political violence and pray for peace in the US. Political violence comes in many forms. It is sometimes perpetrated in court rooms by governments that weaponise the legal system.
One example is Saffrine Duggan's house on the South Coast of NSW which remains empty and unfinished after the US placed an injunction on the property last year in a secret hearing in Washington. The devastating move was clearly designed the bleed the family dry of funds, and force give up hope. When the US made its dastardly act of political and economic violence against the Duggan family, the house was just a day away from being sold to pay Dan's legal fees, and a future for his wife and six children.
But this Australian family has refused to give in to US bullying and fights on.

Was and his family used as human pawns in the US process to "allow" Australia to spend $368 billion on nuclear submarines?

In September 2023, Jessica Lewis, Assistant Secretary of State for Political – Military Affairs - told the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the UK and Australia needed the same laws to the US to "end up with comparable standards". She said: "I actually will say that I was just in Australia with both our secretary of state, our secretary of defense, and their equivalents. And across-the-board we heard broad support for what we are doing together".

During the discussion, Lewis used the example of "an Australian pilot" to demonstrate why US law needed to be mirrored in Australia. "We are looking to extradite that pilot here under our laws to deal with that issue. But again, these kinds of issues, that is really an illustrative example but not the only one." https://c-span.org/video/?530253-1/defense-state-department-officials-testify-australia-uk-us-partnership

An eminent Australian Paediatrician and Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians has written about his very serious concerns for ’s children’s physical and mental health. "These concerns are the direct result of the forced separation from their father, and the ongoing stress related to the uncertainty of future close contact with him, plus their awareness of the conditions under which he is being held. Each of the six children is exhibiting unmistakeable signs of stress and severe anxiety, and is vulnerable to compounding ill-health."

CIA whistleblower and author John Kiriakou writes on Aussie father of six who has already spent almost two years in max security with no convictions. "Dan Duggan is just a guy caught up in big state politics. The issue here is that the US government is engaged in a cold war with China, whether it’s over trade, Chinese successes in Africa, the Belt & Road, initiative, espionage and counterespionage, or placating the military-industrial complex. Dan Duggan is a victim of that cold war. He’s a victim of a Justice Department that’s gone hog wild in its prosecution of low-hanging fruit ..."

Saffrine Duggan was in the capital at the press conference, which must have been a bittersweet moment, as she welcomed the release of Assange and his reuniting with his wife and children, yet her husband is currently in an Australian prison, with his extradition to the US recently granted.

"Australian citizen has been held in maximum security prisons across NSW for 20 months, he hasn’t been charged with any local crime, in fact, the US wants to prosecute him over crimes that aren’t an offence in this country. And Dan, on remand for almost two years, has no criminal record."

A preview to ABC RN’s Background Briefing reports has "already been incarcerated in NSW for more than 600 days without any Australian charges. In that time, he hasn’t had any chance to defend himself in court against the allegations he faces. The US doesn’t need to prove the merits of its case in Australia — they just have to prove he’s eligible for extradition". The report says the US case relies on flimsy "metadata" evidence found on someone else's computer, which they claim links him to a document (authored by someone called "DSQ")! Surely this can't be happening in Australia. https://abc.net.au/news/2024-06-29/australian-pilot-daniel-duggan-conspiracy-chinese-pilots/103998036

DUGGANS DRAW HOPE FROM ASSANGE: ’s wife Saffrine was thrilled to be able to be in Canberra when Julian Assange returned home. She has drawn hope from his freedom as she battles the US government - funded by the Australian taxpayer- in a bid to halt the extradition of her husband. She hopes that will conduct the same quiet diplomacy with the US for Dan’s release. The US may be our ally but it has no place in our legal system and no right to have Australians arrested for things that are not crimes in Australia.

SAFFRINE DUGGAN'S JOURNEY FOR JUSTICE: As dawn was breaking this morning, ’s wife Saffrine set out in the freezing cold, from her home at Millthorpe in the NSW Mid-West to drive to Canberra. There she will meet with politicians who, like many Australians, want justice for Dan. But Saffrine has been shunned by all but one of the members of the parliament’s Human Rights and Treaties Committees. Who is pulling the strings behind the scenes?
She will also help her legal team prepare the last ditch submission to Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus who holds Dan’s fate in his hands. Dan is innocent yet has been singled out for an effective public hanging. Saffrine hopes fervently that
Mark Dreyfus will fulfil his duty to protect Australian citizens and their families from foreign powers.
