Hijackers in Cuba Face Limited Treaties and Hard Labor
Cuban authorities continue to hold U.S. hijackers, offering few privileges and often sending them to sugar fields. A notable case involves Perry, jailed for 25 years for a cockpit hijack and forced flight diversion, with Cuba delaying final disposition and noting no return pressure from Havana. Swiss officials report safe conduct visas via Mexico for U.S. prosecutions, while Cuba shows restraint in returning hijackers despite anger over the wave of incidents.
