Cuba executes three hijackers amid crackdown on dissent
Three men convicted of hijacking a passenger ferry were executed by firing squad in Havana as Cuba tightens penalties on critics. The sentences were upheld on appeal, with the government linking hijackings to South Florida exile plots and criticizing U.S. responses. Separately, four men were arrested for planning a plane hijack on Isle of Youth. The crackdown followed rapid dissident prosecutions in recent weeks.
