The wife of an Australian human rights activist who went missing in Cambodia has called on the federal government to help locate and return her husband, according to The Guardian.
Tran Hiep, a 50-year-old Melbourne-based Australian Vietnamese democracy and anti-human trafficking campaigner, has not been heard from since 18 September, the report said.
According to the account, Tran Hiep had travelled to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, for a short trip to meet with human rights defenders before he was scheduled to return to Bangkok, Thailand, to reunite with his wife, Chloe Dang.
The Guardian reported that Dang has urged the Australian government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, to intervene and assist in finding her husband and bringing him home.
No further details on the circumstances of his disappearance or on any government response were included in the report.
